How You Can Support Your Child's Education

Tips from the American Library Association:

1. Visit your school library. Is there a qualified librarian available to work with students? Are the books and resources up to date? Children cannot be educated to live and work in the 21st century using resources from the 1970s. Let your principal and school board know of your concerns.

2. Get to know your school librarian. Ask what the needs are and how you can help. Donations of books and equipment such as computers and video players may be welcome. Offer to volunteer your time.

3. Join the Friends of the Library, a support group of volunteers who provide fundraising and other assistance. If there is no group, offer to start one.

4. Help your child be school ready. Enroll your preschool child in story hours and other programs at the public library. Make sure your child has a library card and knows how to use it. Read together with your child. Research shows that children who are read to in the home do better in school.

5. Be a role model. Let your child see you reading at home. Help your child explore new technology. Many school and public libraries make computers available for public use. Feel free to ask for assistance.

Support legislators who support libraries and education. Let them know you think the two go together and should be a high priority.

How School Librarians Can Assist You: Reading with Your Children

How to Read Aloud to Your Child and Why It's Important

According to the Family Literacy Foundation, the many benefits of reading aloud with children are:

· Children's self esteem grows as they experience the security of having a parent or other caring person read aloud with them.

· Children experience increased communication with parents and other family members.

· Children are introduced to new concepts such as colors, shapes, numbers, and alphabet, in a fun, age appropriate way.

· Children build listening skills, vocabulary, memory, and language skills.

· Children develop imagination and creativity.

· Children learn information about the world around them.

· Children develop individual interests in special subjects like dinosaurs, cats, or cars.

· Children learn positive behavior patterns and social values.

· Children learn positive attitudes towards themselves and others.

· CHILDREN LEARN THE JOY OF READING!
