     From preschool forward, most teachers strongly urge parents to have their children read-or be read
to-on a reading schedule throughout the year. This includes summer months, holiday breaks, or any time
when school is out. The key is to always make reading fun and a time to look forward to. Then what are
things parents should keep in mind to create fun reading?
     Take advantage of weather. Be adventurous and make it a game as to where you should read to your
child and what. In warm weather, read next to a pond or lake, under a tree, or even in the tree house.
One mother reads to her young child in their children's pool in the backyard during the summer months.
Another mom finishes the longedfor daily trip to the park in the spring or fall by reading a book before
they leave. Cold months can mix reading activities by having books about snowmen, snowfalls, winter
holidays, or sports such as ice skating.
     Build a reading activity into life's planning. Children of all ages should learn the connection between
reading and knowledge. If your family is adding a flower bed, have children read about how to prepare a
bed, what kinds of flowers are suitable for the area of the country and when they should be planted.
Getting a new family pet? Read up on varieties of dogs, care required, and even stories about children
and their pets. Traveling somewhere? You guessed it, read all about your destination first and you and
your children will have the added benefit of knowing more about the area when you arrive.
     Create a book discussion. Some fun ways for kids are to have book discussions, which can be done
with family members by flashlight in the backyard, during a summer outing, or even over breakfast. Be
creative! Parents may ask the child some questions, such as: Did you like the book? Why or why not?
Who was your favorite character? Did you like how it ended? Parents can also create a book club with
kids in the neighborhood, where they can have a book discussion. A simple discussion may last as short
as 20 minutes, or longer as appropriate. The book club may have each child tell about a particular book
they read each week. Taking turns with sharing books can bring a lot of fun!

      You may be surprised to learn that employers generally are not looking for candidates with the best
grade point averages, who were involved in the most clubs, or scored the highest in sports. They want to
find employees who are the best fit for the job. Why? Those candidates will stay the longest.
     The average college graduate stays with her first employer for only nine months. Employers have
concluded that most new young hires are unrealistic about what entry-level jobs needs and will soon
leave in search of something "better". They're right.
      This costs companies a lot of money, because training new hires is expensive. It's not surprising, then,
that most companies-especially those with training programs-will be interested in whether you're likely to
remain in that position.
    How can you show a company you won't move on too soon? You must display a true interest in the
industry, in the job function itself, and particularly in that employer. Intelligently discussing the company,
current trends in the industry and showing that you are genuinely interested in the job are two great ways
to communicate to an interviewer that you're a low-risk hire.
      Maturity is another factor that employers weigh heavily. Some students or recent graduates, in
one-on-one situations with older adults, may not come across as being mature and confident enough for
the professional world. Unfortunately, such judgments are often made based on assumptions, but they are
sometimes based on an impression made during a job interview. It is up to you to convince the employer
otherwise. When on a job interview, make sure you project yourself as a mature candidate wlio is ready to
enter the business community. Practice a firm handshake and learn how to make good eye contact.
