Healthy Kids Tip: Reading for Pleasure

Show your child the joy of reading for pleasure. Spark your child’s enthusiasm by taking family trips to the library this summer, and explain how books can transport the imagination to faraway lands and exciting adventures. Be a reading role model. Talk about what you are reading, and when you are finished, discuss what you have learned.
