Intended for parents who want to help in the development of their child's reading skills, this pamphlet contains a number of suggestions. The first section, on helping the preschool child, includes a list of important reading skills and tells what a parent can do to help the child. The second section deals with ways to build on what the child learns in the first through third grades; while the next two sections contain suggestions for encouraging children in the fourth through sixth grades and in junior and senior high schools to read for pleasure. The bibliography lists "read aloud" and "read by yourself" books for primary children, as well as books for elementary, junior high, and senior high school students. (EL)
