Reading Tips
The more one reads, the better reader one becomes!
-
Read and/or listen to your child read daily.
-
Talk about the story before (predict what may happen), during (why do you think...)and after reading.
-
When encountering a difficult word, have your child:
-
Look for parts he/she knows
-
Cover up any prefixes or suffixes
-
Use phonics knowledge to sound out parts
-
short vowels are usually "sandwiched" between two consonants
-
long vowels say their name
-
"two vowels walking, the first one does the talking" SEAT
-
"magic or silent E" BIKE
-
-
-
Read the rest of the sentence to understand the meaning "Does it sound right?" "Does it make sense?"
-
Look at the pictures
-
Go back and red it again
