Help your child learn to read. When your child doesn't know a word in her reading books, should you tell her what it is? Should you teach your child the alphabet before he starts school?

Promote reading through Read Across America.  NEA's Read Across America is one of the best ways to rally communities around public education. This program, which combines the celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday with the joy of reading, offers the perfect occasion to spark community involvement and showcase the great job schools are doing.
