Strategies for Helping Your Child At Home

Here are a few suggestions that you can try with your (k-2) child at home if he/she is struggling with reading:

*make the sound of the first letter of that tricky word
*check the picture (think about the meaning of the story)
*reread the last few words
*try something that makes sense and keep reading!

If your child is resistant to reading at home, make it easier by:
-Alternating turns-mom or dad reads a page/student reads a page
-Set a timer and after 10-15 minutes stop working and take a break
-Let them see/hear you reading (good role model)
-Find something your child is interested in (magazines, comic books, etc.; These still count as reading!)
