Free Tips For Your Child's Success
Author: Mr. Frank W. Thatcher Jr.

Getting free tips for a child's success is something most parents/guardians are interested in. Most want their child's academic growth to improve every school year. Most sincerely care. Unfortunately some don't, but that's a completely different article. For now, I want to focus on improving the reading abilities of our children immediately.

This summer is flying by and soon our children will be back in the classroom with the eager teachers and their fellow classmates. My concern as an educator, with over twenty years of invaluable experience, is the loss of reading and comprehension skills over the summer months simply due to lack of reading. Children need to read in order to keep up their skills. They must read on a consistent basis to not only maintain but to also improve their skills. Just as any skill or talent, if it isn't used, it will slowly diminish. Do we really need our children's reading abilities to begin to waste away as they enjoy the summer months? I don't think so. Our society can't afford this to happen either.

I frequently compare reading skills to that of a runner's skills. A person that wishes to maintain or improve his or her running ability must run almost on a daily basis. What takes much time and effort to achieve however, can be very quickly lost if that runner takes some time off. Basically, to maintain the skills, the runner needs to run on a consistent basis. This is exactly what we are looking to achieve with our children and their reading skills. We want them to maintain and even improve their skills. This can be accomplished by reading consistently. Perhaps not every day, but consistently.

OK, now I have opened up a very large can of worms, haven't I? Don't get discouraged. Many questions do arise, all of which can be answered. Questions such as: How much time should my child spend reading? How many days a week? What should my child read? The most frequent question: What can I do to get my child to sit and read when he or she can be rather resistant to the idea? Contact me at mailto:frankw@eticomm.net and I will respond.

There are no quick easy answers. Below I have suggested materials and for the purpose of this article I will tell you this much, all strategies depend on many different factors specific to your child's needs. I can and will give you needed suggestions and FREE advice on these matters by email. Contact me at mailto:frankw@eticomm.net and I will make every effort to help you out. Some suggested materials: Hooked on Phonics at http://paperl.com/clk/raussungendendschertz and/or Homebound downloadable coloring and story books for kindergarten and primary (4-8 years) at http://hop.clickbank.net/?frankw/homebound Both are excellent resources. As I said, so much depends on your individual child and his or her personal characteristics, levels, abilities, and needs. Contact me for support!
