Motivate your child by taking interest in what they are reading. Find out what they have learned, what they thought was interesting and what emotions they felt while reading certain parts of a book.

Life can be fast-paced and we can lose track of time and connections with those we love. DEARFAM can not only help with keeping those connections, but also help improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and critical thinking.

Encourage your child to become a lifelong reader and learner!
