CAREABOUTKIDS

PARENTS: Children need practice in reading comfortably and with expression using books they know. As your child is reading aloud, point out words your child missed and help him read words correctly. If you stop to focus on a word, have your child reread the whole sentence to be sure he understands the meaning. Talk with your child about what your child is reading. Ask about new words. Talk about what happened in a story. Ask about the characters, places, and events that took place. Ask what new information your child has learned from the book. Encourage your child to read on her/his own.MY WORD: Be sure to visit the library as often as possible
