Reading Tips – Do you read to your child?   This is one of the most powerful things you can do to help your child become a good reader.   Here are some ideas to further enhance your reading time:

 

  1. Take a picture walk.   Have your child look at the cover and predict what the story will be about and then look at the other pictures to predict the story.
  2. Stop at certain points and ask your child “What do you think will happen next?”
  3. Help them figure out difficult words themselves – break up the word into smaller parts in order to pronounce it.   Look at the words around it, the picture, and look for any clues that will help them figure out what the word means.

 

The following are statements you can use to help encourage your child while he/she is reading.

  • I like the way you tried to help yourself.
  • Good for you!   I saw you checking the word with the picture to see if you were right. 
  • I like the way you worked out the hard part.
  • I noticed you tried when you had trouble.   
  • Good for you.   That’s what good readers do.
  • I noticed you paused before you read right here (point). 
  • After you paused, you read the work correctly.   Great Job!
  • I’m so proud of your efforts and skills.
  • I love the way you read this sentence with feeling.
  • You are reading with lots of expression.   I’m really proud of you.
