Thank you for taking time to listen to your child every night. The more often they read and are read to, the sooner they will become independent readers. They will also become more fluent in their own reading and have a higher level of text comprehension. When listening to your child, you can \u201cteach\u201d your child by stopping to discuss what\u2019s happening in the illustrations and the new vocabulary words that are introduced and used in the text. \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for supporting your child\u2019s reading endeavors.
