season. Since reading is
foundational for academic
success, your child’s
reading needs to be on or
above grade level. Here are
three ways you can help
improve your elementary Y0066_21SPRJ55188_C
age child’s reading.
First, trust your instinct and seek understanding.

reading approach. The Barton Reading and Spelling
System was designed for parents and educators
to use one-to-one with children. Learn more at
BartonReading.com. If you prefer, hire a specialized
reading tutor to teach your child since many kids work
better with someone other than a parent. I have a list
of professional reading tutors at JimForgan.com/tutor.
Third, provide a fun way to read. With your younger
child, build a pillow fort and read inside the fort. Create
a “secret” reading space, tree house, or unique area
for reading. Regardless of age, read to your child. As ESTATE & BUSINESS PLANNING
