Educators will tell you that there is nothing more important for preparing your child to be a successful reader than reading aloud to them.

Every night I struggle with my 9-year-old son to get him to do his homework. He cries and resists doing the assignments. We spend over 2 hours doing homework that his teacher says should take about 30 minutes. I know that he comes home exhausted and I feel terrible forcing him to do the work. Can you give me some tips on how I can help my son?
