(Drop Everything and Read)   Take time to read; it is the foundation of wisdom. ~Old English Prayer   Today make it a point to cuddle and read with your child every day. Research shows that even as little as 15 minutes a day not only enhances your child's love of reading but also contributes to his overall academic success. It doesn't matter if you have a kindergartner or a fifth-grader, children love to be read to. It is intimate, free, and fun. It is perhaps the easiest way to increase your child’s academic skills. Experiment and find an uninterrupted time that works well with your family. Try:   ●       first thing in the morning; ●       right after school; ●       after dinner; or ●       at bedtime.   Check out the American Library Association website for lots of information on good books to read at all reading levels: http://www.ala.org/ .
