How To Read With A Beginning Reader

Read for 10-15 Minutes a Day

• Encourage your child to use his/her finger to point to each word.
•  Read a sentence and have your child repeat it.
•  Take turns reading a sentence each or a page each.
•  Talk about the story as you read it. What do you think will happen next? What does this story remind you of? How do you think this character feels?
•  Don’t be afraid to read the same book again! Repeated reading helps build reading fluency!

Keep plenty of reading materials in your home: books magazines newspapers comic books. 

Children enjoy having a variety of reading materials!
