TIPS FOR PARENTS TO HELP YOUR CHILD

ENJOY READING

Have your child read aloud to you every night.

Choose a quiet place, free from distractions, for your child to do the nightly reading assignment.

Ask your child to tell you in his/her own words what happens in the story.

To check your child’s understanding pause occasionally and ask your child questions about the characters and events in the story.

Before getting to the end of the story, ask your child what he/she thinks will happen next.

Let your child SEE and HEAR YOU reading. It will show them that reading IS important!
