Transition to School
Now is the time to learn what approach to reading is being used in the school your child will attend, so that you can determine how to become involved. Plan to be active in the PTA and push for a book drive or fund raiser for classroom libraries. If you have the time, volunteer to help out during language arts or storytime. Organize a parent/teacher workshop on reading to learn your school's approach and to see how you can best support it in school and at home. Finally, ask your principal, librarian, and teacher how they foster the love of reading and how you can help them to do so.
