How can I support my child as a reader?
- Read AROUND them- they will be more motivated to read themselves, if they see you reading too!
- Newspapers
- Magazines
- Cereal Boxes
Instructional Manuals - Recipes
- Read To them
- Look for books you will enjoy reading aloud. Enthusiasm is contagious!
- If your child doesn't like a book, put it away! Reading aloud is meant to instill a love of reading. It should be a treat, not a task for you both.
- Read WITH them
- When your child has difficulty with a word, wait a few seconds before prompting them, in order to allow time for them to problem-solve. You can then prompt them to try a strategy before they ask you what the word is.
- Play with WORDS
- Word Work activities
- Write the words in shaving cream on a table
- Trace the words in sand
- Build the words with a small food item (Cheerios, goldfish, etc.)
- Rainbow words- Trace each letter in the word with a different color crayon
- Word Work activities
