Encourage your child to read the newspaper daily

I wish I had done this sooner!! My kids are eager learners and want to know what is happening around the world. I encourage them to read a newspaper article with me everyday. The newspaper has different sections and you should choose an article that is age appropriate before you ask them to read it.
The business section is also an excellent place to learn about economics and business. I choose the local times or the Wall Street Journal. Good quality newspapers have rich vocabulary and can be used as a wonderful teaching tool. Yes! I do believe the sky is the limit in teaching young kids and so go ahead and teach them. As a treat, you can always share a cartoon or a Sudoku game if your kids like that.
