Read aloud every day. If you are a teacher or a parent. Heck, even if you're not. Here's link about it. I especially like the quote:
"Reading out loud is delightful – more fun that reading silently. Happy memories of childhood often include having a favourite teacher reading aloud, or learning to recite a silly poem. So much fun that it made you want to read more on your own."
If you are a parent, read to them every day. And not just when they're little. Read to them until the day they leave your house. I don't care if it's
television listings or sports pages. Read to them.
If you are a teacher, do it every day, no matter the grade level. Think back on your school experience. The one thing people remember the most are the books their teachers loved and read aloud.
