May is Better Hearing and Speech Month!

During the month of May, carve out some reading time for you and your child.  If weekly schedules are hectic, set aside some time on the weekend to read.  Create a special reading nook in your home or designate a room for reading, such as your child’s room, a pile of pillows on the floor, etc.  Read aloud to your child, too.  A read aloud helps engage your child in the novel.  You can talk about the characters, the setting, and background information of the story.  Take turns reading aloud.  For a struggling reader, listen to books on tape to develop a positive association with books.
