Reading and writing don’t need to be limited to assignments. From family bedtime reading to pen-pals, young children can appreciate the benefits of English. Multiple studies show the importance of reading aloud for building relational connections. High school students should additionally be encouraged to set aside time to study for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT.
