[quote=Anonymous]Definitely focus on writing: it's a skill that isn't well-taught in most schools, and it will pay tremendous dividends. There are programs like Writopia Lab and 826, but even keeping a journal or writing notes back and forth with a relative would be a great start. There are books with writing prompts, and the Hochman method is really good (get the book The Writing Revolution).

Agree with making frequent library visits and teaching kids how to talk to librarians and ask for recommendations. Even if your kid wants to read something less challenging or graphic novels or the same book 50 times, go for it--enjoying reading is great! Reading a book and watching the movie of it (in whatever order) can be very fun too--a good opportunity to think about plot, character, and other aspects of storytelling.

Finally, reading nonfiction and instructional texts is really important too. Recipes, articles about topics of interest, manuals for assembling a toy, that sort of thing. [/quote]
