Reading at home

HELPING YOUR CHILD WITH READING AT HOME 

 Books you choose for your child should be easy to read.

 

 When your child comes to a new word, give a few seconds and let your child figure it out.

 

Encourage your child to use the following when they come to an unfamiliar word.

o    Meaning (Does it make sense?)

o    Structure (Do we say it that way?)

o    Letters/Clusters (Does it look right?)

 

 If your child still can not figure out the word tell it to them.

 

Praise the efforts of your child.

 

Make the reading experience enjoyable
