The summer holidays are well advanced and school uniforms are appearing in the shops. The last weeks of the holidays will fly in and September will be here before we know it.

The summer holidays will soon be here and much as the prospect of two months off school may be an exciting thought for our children, as parents we need to be aware that during this time it is highly likely that almost total brain shut-down may occur!

CONTINUED - In our world of ‘techno-toys’ many children are not interested in sitting down quietly to read a book purely for enjoyment. This is a shame as reading helps them acquire the vocabulary and a feel for grammar and punctuation which will improve their own writing skills immensely. So how do we, as parents, set the stage to encourage in our children the desire to read?

Reading is one of the most important skills our children have to learn: without it their education in other subjects, including maths, becomes virtually impossible. As parents we need to make sure that our children acquire the ability to read proficiently, not just for information but, hopefully for pleasure as well.
