Now that the school year has begun, consider a visit to your child's classroom to read aloud with your child’s class. Once the teacher has given the OK, also be
sure your child agrees with this plan. And ask him which book he wants to
share with the class. Then, schedule the visit. (If he is hesitant, wait a month
or two and ask again. He may well change his mind as he becomes more comfortable in the classroom.)
Visiting the classroom is a good way to keep an open
connection between school and home. It provides a good chance for your child’s
teachers and classmates to get to know your child better. You will also get a
sense of your child’s day and what the school environment is like. It is a
terrific way to get to know some of the classmates he may be talking about at
home. And he will like to show you off to his school friends and maybe even
show off some of his reading prowess. And, of course, reading aloud is a wonderful way to engage children in the joys of reading.
