Reading With Your Child Back to Home Page
Learning to read is a major part of our classroom curriculum.
Your child will regularly be bringing home reading materials to practice.
Please take a few minutes each evening to read the assignment with your child.
When reading with your child always praise and encourage them.
When Young Readers Get Stuck
Here are
some strategies that your child should remember to use when
they
come to an unknown word:
*Look at the picture
*Think about
what is happening in the story
*Get your
mouth ready
*Give it a
try!!
*Does it make
sense??
*Go back and
read it again!
*Does it
sound right? Does it look right??
*Say the word
slowly
*Look for
chunks
*Have I seen
that word before?
*Skip it,
read on, then go back and try again
These are some strategies for you to use to help your child when they come to an unknown word:
*Wait and see if they figure the word out.
*Say,
"Try that again."
*Say,
"Look at the picture."
*Say,
"Think about what would make sense."
*Say,
"Read the sentence again and start the tricky word."
*If they
still don't get the word, say the word for them.
When Young Readers Make a Mistake
These are some strategies for you to use when your child makes a mistake.
*If the mistake makes sense, don't worry about it.
*If the
mistake doesn't make sense, wait to see if the reader will fix it.
*Say,
"Try that again."
*Say,
"Did what you read look right and sound right?"
