Parents today might believe that leading their children to become competent readers is the job of a school. These parents may be surprised to learn that, across the board in America, schools are largely failing at teaching literacy. An inability to read with skill and understanding puts kids at a potentially lifelong disadvantage. The good news is that it’s very simple to inspire your own children to read well.
A skilled reader is someone who has the capacity to teach themselves virtually anything in life and who can enjoy a life abundantly rich in ideas, stories, and wonder.
