“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
Reading is an important life skill. Our goal in C-FB ISD is high achievement for all students. And in regards to reading – we want our students to be excellent life-long readers.
I encourage you to read with or to your child every day for at least 20 minutes. If you have a high school student, read a book that he/she is reading and talk about it. Model reading for your children – when they see you reading, it will encourage their own love for books. As a side benefit to you, a recent report from the Harvard Business Review by John Coleman states, “Finally, an active literary life can make you more personally effective by keeping you relaxed and improving health. For stressed executives, reading is the best way to relax, as reading for six minutes can reduce stress by 68%.” So read - it helps you and your child.
