What parents can do to improve success in Kindergarten

Will your child achieve Grade 1 reading success? Here are some ideas and activities important to fundamental reading success.

Parents and teachers can work together to ensure reading success.

You can't underestimate the importance of your child's decoding skills being at grade level BEFORE (s)he reaches grade 4 when the content load is much more difficult, and the focus of reading instruction is no longer on decoding of words.

If your child is not reading at grade level at the beginning of fourth grade, it is important to get immediate intervention.

Parents are the most important influences in a child’s life. They are the key to his or her educational success. A spirit of cooperation between parents and teachers is essential.  After all, you both want the same thing—the most learning, accomplished in the best way possible.
