Parent Involvement in Literacy
This is a recent article highlighting the various ways that parents can help increase literacy at home

Of all the methods I would recommend, Neurological Impress is the most useful and easiest one to implement. Take time to read this article, and try it out.
I love this site. It has so many reading resources, including videos of TV episodes, articles by experts, and lots and lots of useful information for reading. Fabulous public service website.
This interesting website offers recommendations for reading readiness in Kindergarten. I encourage parents not to be too aggressive about kindergarten reading, as it is so important to let children have time to develop their physical coordination first before encouraging reading.
