Attention Parents! Information About Reading with Your Kids

We’re back into the school and fall schedule! School is in full swing and the kids are getting back to activities. I went to back to school night for both my kids last week – I have one daughter in first grade and another in third grade. Both teachers spoke about the importance of reading with your kids at home. This is not new advice, but this year it got me thinking and I have some questions about what parents do when they are reading with their kids at home. For instance – what types of books are you reading with your child? How long do you read with your child at home? When do you read with your child at home?

Parents want to support their children with reading and writing (and, school in general) at home, but are not always sure what is happening at school and often do not want to contradict how the content is being taught in school.

In order to get a better understanding of how parents and their children are reading together, I put together a short survey. I would love it if you would take it – it is completely anonymous and the results will not be shared. Thanks so much for your sharing your reading routines. Happy reading!
