Literacy

• You can encourage your child to learn by showing the importance of books and reading. A simple way is to create a place where she can store books. You can also encourage your child to borrow books from the library, allowing you to spark interest in reading during school breaks and summer. If you are not sure where to start looking for books that appeal to your child, ask the librarian or your child’s teacher.
