What if?

Here is a novel concept (ha ha). What if all you had to do to improve your reading and improve how you do in school and in life was to read more. Not read more of what people told you to read but what you wanted to read. Simple, low cost (think school and public library). Wow. I get so tired of all the tricks or programs to "get your child to read". Basically you read what they want to hear. What you like to read. When they can they read what they want to read thus the read more.

Studies over and over and over say the more you read the better you get at it. DUH! I could list the studies but just google "research on self selected reading site:gov" Like riding a bike. Was anyone born riding a bike? No.

Can you tell I was looking a useless grants today spouting "they" had the answer to make reading work? UGH!
