The first and second grade students at our California school love to read. They especially love having somebody listen to them read. The children attending our school are predominately Hispanic and socioeconomically disadvantaged. Many speak Spanish at home and English at school. They are not fluent English speakers, but they are learning. In order to become fluent, they need to practice reading and learning new vocabulary from the books being read. In first and second grade, this is practiced everyday. But it must also be practiced at home. To better serve our students, parents need to know how to read with their children. They need to know which questions to ask and how to influence their children to read more.
