As a parent, you strive to help your children succeed in school and that often means encouraging them to do their homework and study for tests. But one of the most important things you can do for your child's development is to read together.
"Reading is one of the most important gifts you can give to your child," said Renee McGrath, Youth Services manager for the Nassau Library System. "Children will understand the value of reading, and even get excited about it, when they see that you are actively involved." Keep in mind that reading should be an enjoyable experience.
