Hi Parents,
Ever wondered how you could help your child become a better reader? Here are few simple strategies to use when building your child's literacy skills:
First of all, reading aloud is so very important. It opens so many doors for children. Even if you just read for 15 minutes a night, it actually does help. When reading aloud, the child can see the words being read, hear the words, and associate new meanings. It is also important to provide as many printed materials as you can. For example, children's books, magazines and even coloring books with a story attached are great ways for students to become associated with printed materials. Please remember to always promote positive attitudes when it comes to reading. If your child witnesses you becoming frustrated, then it is more likely that he or she will react the same way.
Here are some other great ideas:
* Invite a child to read with you every day.
* When reading a book, point word by word as you read. This will help the child focus and understand the correct methods to use when reading.
* Don't be afraid to read a child's favorite book over and over again. This will help build fluency.
* Discuss new words.
* Stop and ask questions about the pictures.
* Read a variety of children's books, including fairy tales, songbooks, poems and information books.
* Most of all, remember that reading is at the heart of all learning. It is said that a child who can't read well, can't learn. So please help make a difference in your child's life by reading.
