Be a Model!

I'm not talking about walking the catwalk...I'm talking about being a model for good reading habits!  Model good reading skills at home or when you're on the go.  When you show that you enjoy reading, your child(ren) will pick up on that and become aware that other's are reading around them.  It's a good idea to have various types of reading materials in sight.  This can include books, newspapers, and magazines.  Another thought is that when you are on the go, like many of us are, take a book or magazine with you.  When you are sitting in a waiting room for the doctor or getting your oil changed, for example, read while you are waiting.  Encourage your child(ren) to also brink a book or magazine to enjoy while waiting for various appointments.
