National Family Literacy Day is coming up November 1.  But every day is a good day to read with your family!  Here are some tips to help improve reading skills from NCFL.

• Reading is a skill that gets better with practice. Make reading fun. It is not all about drill.

• Encourage reading everywhere! Have your child read street signs and T-shirts. Get him to help with cooking (reading recipes, labels and shopping lists). Have your child keep track of family activities on a calendar.
