This booklet is intended to provide adult basic education students with some tips on reading to their children. The booklet emphasizes that it is important for parents to read to their children (regardless of how well they read themselves). The benefits that parents and children derive when parents read to children are discussed. Tips on finding time for reading aloud, selecting appropriate books, and obtaining children's books are also provided. Suggestions for parents who are not very good readers are discussed in a separate section (including finding picture books with no words, using beginner books or easy readers, making up stories based on a book's pictures, finding tapes or records of children's books, asking a friend or tutor to tape a few children's books and then practicing reading the books, and getting a tutor or joining an adult reading class). A list of do's and don'ts for getting and keeping children interested in reading concludes the booklet. (MN)
