Kids vary in terms of how fast they learn how to read. For some, it may be quite automatic, that some parents are surprised when their kids come home from school one day and just start reading by themselves. In some cases, it may take a little more time and effort on the part of the parent, to teach a particular child to read.

Pass the Book
November 13th, 2007 — Parenting and Education
One of the things that I like about my kids’ schools is how they encourage the children to enjoy reading more. In my son’s school they had what you call a “Pass the Book” project where all kids brought home one book each to read every week. As soon as one was done with the book, he then “passed it on” to the next person and assuming that there are 52 weeks in a year, by the end of the first year, everyone would have already read 52 books.

Make Your Child an Eager Reader
July 10th, 2007 — Parenting and Education
Last week, my son came home from school with a Time Life Treasure Seekers Adventure Pass. It was a library card of sorts, given by my son’s school, encouraging my son to read more books. At the back of the card, the instructions stated that once the card has been filled with stamps, my son can claim a surprise gift from his Reading teacher. My son will need to read 15 books to be able to fill up the card.
