A child's success as a reader begins much earlier than the first day of school. Reading, and a love for reading, begins at home. Our one-page parent tips offer easy ways for parents to help kids become successful readers. Although we've divided these tips by age, many of them can be used with children at various ages and stages — we encourage you to choose the ones that work best for your child.

Please add Nepali. We have a large population that would benefit from this. Thanks!

It would be great to have this for fourth and fifth graders too. Please consider having a 'Tips for parents of Fourth Graders' and for fifth! Great reference for parents!

Thanks for this great resource. We have a request for Bengali language since we have a growing need for it in our school building. Please offer translations in Bengali too.

As a couple of others have stated, I would also like a Japanese version. Thank you!

Please add Thai Language to your resources. Thank you

I love your resources and would like to access them in my new school, but I see that your resources are not offered in Mandarin. Mandarin is the primary language of Mainland China, and the language that I would most likely use when communicating with stakeholders at my school.
Is Mandarin a language that you may be including in the near future? I am hopeful that it will be. Thanks.

Like a few others commented above, it would be great to have these sheets in French, too. My school district has a growing community of Francophone African students, so much so that we now have a French-English dual-language program at one of our schools. I know we are not the only school district with this growing population. Thank you!
