Tips for Reading with Your Children

Reading aloud to children has been found to be one of the most effective ways parents can work with their children to better prepare them before they come to school and to accelerate their learning as they progress through the grades. The Minnesota Humanities Commission Family Literacy Initiatives has put together "Tips for Reading With You Children" in 26 different languages. This site also has links to other Bilingual Family Literacy Initiatives that "promote the importance of books and reading as the entryway to academic excellence."
