Criscuolo recommends
the following ways for
parents to use the newspaper
with children:

© Pick out an interesting
article from the newspaper.
As you are preparing supper,
tell your child that you are
busy and ask him'or her to
read the article to you.

* Garage sales are often
advertised in the paper. Ask
your child to list some
upcoming garage sales in
chronological order.
detailing where they will be
held. using a map of the
area encourage your
youngster to iocate the
streets on which these

garay~ sales will take place.

* Classified suds often
include abbreviations = for
amt >> cvords. Encourage
your “atic “¢ make a hist of
these bbreviauions and try

to fig, re out the words fron,
the context of the ads.
