“We have become a listening society where conversation is becoming a lost art. The importance of talking to your child in full sentences is paramount.” – Carla Hannaford, Ph.D., Smart Moves

Did you know that you have an influence on your child’s reading and math scores, as well as the proper development of your child’s communication skills? Studies have shown that you control five things that tremendously impact reading, math, and communication skills:

• Student attendance at school

• Variety of reading materials at home

• Amount of TV your child watches

• Amount of time you read to or spend with your child

• Amount of time you engage in full, conscious conversation with your child
