SURF - Silent, Uninterrupted Reading Fun!
Silent or Oral Reading
ORAL READING (OUT LOUD TO A PARENT OR SIBLING) IS THE BEST WAY TO GROW AS A READER! 

I encourage you to have your child spend at least 15-30 minutes each day to grow as a reader!  This can be reading aloud to others, partner reading (one page them, one page you), or silent reading.
