Create a quiet space in your home for reading and other calm activities. Include comfy seats, a variety of light settings and good book selections. Fill a certain shelf with some of your favorites, allowing you to share the joy of reading with your child.

Start expecting reading time before their official bedtime. As academics become increasingly difficult, taking 15 minutes to read for enjoyment before "lights out" teaches your child to decompress after a long day and encourages them to find pleasure in an activity that can become more work than fun.

Read a book aloud or at the same time. Socializing and sharing stories is a healthy way to interact with students of any age. It also provides extra support and comprehension checks as texts jump in levels of difficulty. Be sure to read some of your student's choices and pick some of your own.
