READING at Home with Your Child
What parents can do to help your child read…..
- Encourage your child to use their diary to keep track of their library due dates. Library borrowing is an opportunity for young children to develop independence and responsibility in returning their own books on time.
- Read with your child and discussthe books with them. For lower grade students, it is important to read to your child but also have them read to you. You can also encourage them to share their feelings to you after reading. For higher grade students, you may read the same book as they are reading, share and discuss with them your likes and thoughts about the book, and this can facilitate the communication between you and your child.
- If they are having difficulties reading a word encourageyour child to use their ‘Write to Read Codes’. For greater comprehension, make connections between the books they are reading and their own experiences.
- Encourage reading as a part of life. Take your child to the public libraries, share your daily reading and research with your child. Reading is one way to make sense of the world around us. Your child can grow and learn a variety of knowledge.
