Dear Parents, Family, or Caregiver,

In our partnership with you to support your children’s learning, we are sharing some excellent short video clips created by parents for parents. If we read with your children at school and you read with them as well, they will see that you also believe in the importance of reading for understanding and enjoyment.

These links give some key points for all ages that help the reading process.  In fact, once you find one, you might find others that you can use too.
