The best strategy for raising a child who likes to read is to read to, with, and in front of your child at least 15 minutes every day. Do this until they are in middle school. Research confirms that reading daily with your child in a fun, bonding and expressive way is the most important thing you can do to have them want to read. This is because kids will associate reading with pleasure. The daily reading can be anything including books, magazines, newspapers, etc.

In the long run, it is not helpful when parents constantly correct their child’s homework before they turn it in. Correcting your student’s homework gives teachers a false impression and ultimately hurts your child. If everyone’s homework in the class is perfect, the teacher will assume everyone gets the material and will either move on or give a test on the material. Teachers use homework to decide which students need more review, which are ready to move on, and whether the lesson was effective.
