I hate reading! I don’t want to read now. I don’t like that book. These are complaints that are frequently heard by parents and teachers alike. And it is a problem because almost everything is made easier for a child at school when they can read fluently. Even maths becomes easier; “you haven’t read the question!” is often a perennial cry from the teacher.

Make sure that the parents of the children you teach understand that getting their children to read is going to be a team effort; that you are part of the same team to do the best for their child.
