Does your child struggle with reading? We’ve compiled 7 tips for parents wanting to help their child with reading.
R Reading is based on several factors, including fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and phonics. Our evaluations pinpoint exactly where your child’s reading is breaking down. E Encourage your child to read whatever they want. Many students who dislike storybooks enjoy reading comics or books on the computer. A Ask your child’s teacher for more manageable work if homework is a battle every night. D Don’t tell an early reader no. If your child is excited to read about a given topic don’t push them to read something else. I Increase your child’s motivation to read by making connections to the real world, like reading a newspaper article or a handwritten letter. N Never concentrate only on what your child is doing wrong. Building up your child’s confidence is key to improving their reading skills. When your child sounds through a word on their own or finishes a chapter book, congratulate them and celebrate!
