An Organized House = Better Reading Skills for Kids

A recent article in School Library Journal highlights the results of an interesting study. The findings indicated the more organized your home is, the better your 5 or 6 year old will read. What an interesting connection!

This excerpt from the article is a great synopsis of what all parents can do to improve upon their children's literacy skills:

“Cultivate an interest in reading through role modeling, visits to the library, and finding new and attractive books that are age-appropriate. And minimize distractions while you're reading together, and let the child spend time alone with books if he wants to even before he can read.”
