How can I help my child become an avid and fluent reader?

The best thing you can do for your child is help him/her locate books that 
are of interest. The Friendswood Public Library has many books and authors
that your child can enjoy. (ie, books about sports, animals, airplanes,
dance,Junie B.Jones, Amelia Bedelia, The Magic Treehouse, Captain
Underpants, Discovery Kids, etc.)

Should I let my child check out a book that is too difficult or too easy?

If a book has a higher level of difficulty for your child, you can read it 
with or to your child to expose him/her to new vocabulary. If the book seems
too easy, its okay because it will help your child gain fluency as well as
reinforce reading comprehension.
