Here is a list of 10 ways to enhance family literacy:
01
Read, read, read!
Read magazines, books, newspapers, menus, signs around town, digital print.

Ask your child about what their reading.
Ask questions before your child starts reading, during, and after. Don't forget to ask them to PROVE IT, and support their thinking with evidence from the text.
03
Incorporate writing.
Reading and writing go hand-in-hand, so write notes, e-mails, texts, or letters to each other each day.

Sing songs together.
Whether you sing a song together on the radio or make up a song of your own, it is a great way to work on expression and attitude for reading.

Teach your child how to follow a recipe and look at the proportions of measurement. Great math and reading skill practice.
