10 . Do you want to give your child the best start in life？ Helping him to become a good, confident reader is one of the most valuable things you can do. These simple little things below take up your little time.     1    

● Let your kid "catch" you reading. Buy a mystery novel or a fashion magazine the

next time you're at the grocery store. Maybe you guess it．    2    

● Ask your child about what he's reading at school and at home.     3    . So

care about your child and get your child to talk about what his class is reading. If time is short, you can even do this on the drive home from school or while you're getting dinner ready．

● There are words all around. Point them out!     4     They're also on menus

and the backs of boxes. Point them out to your child. Ask him if he can read a word
you've both just seen, and if he doesn't know what it means, make a point of looking it
up in a dictionary when you get home．

●    5    This trick works for kids of almost any age. For the youngest kids, hearing a bedtime story makes them realize that books have words, and those words tell them many things. Older children can sit next to you and read along. Kids who are reading on their own might even want to read a story to you．

A．Turn bedtime into "story time"．

B．But they can help develop your child into a good reader and writer．

C．Move your child into reading independently．

D．Words are on subway signs and the sides of buses．

E．That just lets your kid see you reading and enjoying it．

F．Most kids love to talk when their parents are paying much attention．

G．However, they can make a big difference if your child is struggling to learn to read．
