Parent Strategies
• Parents are the first and most important teachers
• Reading is like riding a bike. You watch little ones beginning to ride a bike; they’re wobbling all over the place. But as we practice and practice, we don’t ever think about pedaling anymore. Eventually we can ride with no hands.
