Read! Read! So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install, a lovely bookshelf on the wall -Ronald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) TV vs. Reading Take control of the TV. It's difficult for reading to compete with TV and video games. Try giving children television tickets. Each week, each child gets 20 tickets. Each ticket can be used for 30 minutes of TV time. Any tickets remaining at the end of the week can be cashed in for 25 cents each. Parents can still veto a certain program, of course.

These are questions that fall under the last two levels. Use them freely to quiz your child! Reading well is at the heart of all learning. Children who can't read well, can't learn. Make a difference! You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child. -Dr. Seuss
