Literacy Tip: Reread books!

Research shows that repetitive reading has a variety of benefits for younger and older children alike. While it not only builds vocabulary, enhances memory and fluency, and aids in recognizing language patterns, it also helps to build confidence, which is paramount to the development of a love for reading and learning. It’s also a proven study strategy that helps students identify what is important and increases comprehension. So even if you’re tired of reading Go, Dog, Go for the 87th time, do your best to say “YES” with a smile when your child asks to read it again. Who doesn’t love a party hat?!
