Helping Your Child Read At Home

 Before Reading

*Find a comfortable spot away from distractions

*Predict what the story is about based on the cover, title and pictures inside

During Reading

Reading Strategies to Use:

 What should you do when you come to a tricky word?

 *Use the pictures 

 *Look at the first letter and try to sound it out

  *Tap it out

  *Remember it must make sense

*Be sure your child finger-points as he/she reads

After Reading

*Ask: What was their favorite part and why?

  What did the story make them think of

    or remind them of?

   What was the whole story about? (main idea)
