Parents can read to their children, with their children or have the children read to you.? Which brings me to the last reason for all of us to read; it is contagious!

If you as parents are positive about reading, children will follow suit.?未来一年，我们将继续鼓励阅读，为学生创造阅读机会，继续增加图书馆藏书。以后，我们将陆续发布关于文字素养和阅读方法的文章，帮助学生在各个科目中提高文字素养，为日后成功铺平道路。大家阅读愉快！Throughout the year we will continue to encourage reading, give opportunities for reading at school, and of course continue to add to our collection of books in the library.
