Reading can be fun.
It can also be hard work for a young reader. Parents can help their children learn to read
without the child thinking he/she is reading.

When going out to eat, encourage your child to read
the menu. While waiting for your food,
play games such as hangman or create a word search of menu items on
a napkin or placemat.

Read e-mails and/or letters from friends and
relatives with your child.

Read catalogs, flyers and/or coupons together.

Before going to on a vacation or visiting a museum,
exhibition or amusement park, learn about it on-line. When you go encourage your child to look for words
that were on the website.

Read the rules to games together.
Children are
more willing to read when they are reading about something they are
interested in. If your child is interested in sports, horses,
etc. try to have books available on their interest for them to
read. Good sources for reading material for your child are
the school library, the public library, bookstores and the book
fair our PTA will be hosting during conference week.

The LAP program is a state funded early intervention program for
students who need extra support in reading or math
instruction. Classroom teachers and the LAP support staff
work together to design lessons for individual students.
LAP, along with the classroom teachers, has the responsibility of
planning and implementing the individual instructional program for
each LAP student.
Students work in small groups with LAP support staff. Each
group session is approximately 30-45 minutes.
