ALT A maroon and yellow graphic features a photo of a student writing. Text in a yellow-bordered box reads, "DCS Tips: Helpful Suggestions for Dexter Families." Text below reads, "Help improve your child’s reading and writing. Talk with your child...a lot. Children expand their vocabulary through both reading and conversation. Make reading materials readily available for your child. Read aloud to your child. Take turns reading aloud to each other. Ask questions about what you read together. Give your child authentic writing tasks such as a grocery list, a card to a friend, or an email to their teacher. Model good habits by reading and writing in front of your child. Play word games together: Zingo Word Builder, sight word bingo, Boggle, Bananagrams, Scrabble, Mad Libs, etc. NWEA.org."
