Have your child read aloud Sometimes just part of a story is sufficient. Allow your child to choose the part with the "action" or one with a good description, etc. 3. Simply tell you child any unknown words Stopping to use a dictionary will interrupt the thread of the story especially if he or she is usually reluctant to read. 4. Discuss the story Try to make both reading the story and discussing it enjoyable experiences. 5. Praise your child Reading should be enjoyable for both of you. Sometimes a sincere "thank you for reading to me" along with a smile or a hug will be the best praise for the situation. Department Files No "Department Files" exist(s) |
