recommended Books to read to your child/children: |
1. Determine your child's reading level, and keep in mind that every child learns at a different pace.
2. Research books before your child reads them. You know your child's interests, likes, and dislikes best. Reading your child's books before they do will ensure that they will be entertained. 3. Have your child use the PICK method: Purpose: Why do I want to read this book? Interest: Does it interest me? Comprehend: Do I understand what I am reading? Know: Do I know most of the words I am reading? 4. Understand that children may want to read the same book many times, even if you think they have outgrown it. 5. Have children choose their own books as soon as they start showing a preference for one over another. |
1. Early identification is crucial. Please, if you suspect a problem with your child's reading, don't hesitate to get your child assessed. It will only help, not hurt your child.
2. Set aside a quiet time to have your child read to you with no distractions. Ten to fifteen minutes is usually long enough. 3. If your child mispronounces a word do not interrupt immediately. Instead allow opportunity for self-correction. 4. Boost your child's confidence with constant praise for even the smallest achievement. 5. Try to read with your child on most school days. 'Little and often' is best. |
