    “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!"
  Hi! I’m Ms. Murphy the Reading Coach at Bryan.

       Top Ways to Get Your Kids to Read
 Here's how you can make reading a part of your
              kids' everyday lives.

1. Show your kids that reading will introduce them
 to new people, take them to faraway places, and
    let them travel through time. Start a family or
              neigborhood book group.
2. Sign up your kids (and yourself) for a book club.
  3. Print out these bookmarks and your kids will
            never lose their place again!
  4. Make the connection between fact and fiction
 for your kids. If they loved Stellaluna, point them
               toward this quiz on bats.
5. Have your kids recommend their favorite books
to friends and get their friends' recommendations.

            Continued on next slide-
6. Turn your kids into supersleuths. After they read a
 book, they can create an unbreakable, crazy code.
7. Be sneaky! Take our kids on a "book nick." It's kind
               of like a picnic, only better!
8. Remember that practice makes perfect. Help your
    kids practice rhyming words, drawing lines and
shapes, and moving their eyes and hands from left to
                            right.
 9. E-books are a great new tool. If you own one be
sure to get some children’s books and read with your
                           child.
 10. Make reading relaxing and low-key for a short
                 part of the day.
 11 Read aloud some funny or interesting parts of
               your favorite book.
 12.Draw your child in with a riddle book for kids, a
  passage from Sports Illustrated, or a newspaper
                       story.
