How Can I Help My Child with Reading

The beginning reader needs to practice these concepts and skills:

1. Concepts of Print
a. Find the front and back of a book
b. Show me the title and title page
c. Where do you begin on a page
d. Which direction do you read and where do you go when you get to the end of a line
e. Find a word, find a space between words
f. Can you match one-to-one with teh words you are reading (touch with your finger)

2. Phonics
Recognizing all the capital and lowercase letters and learning the sounds that the letters make. I'll send home flashcards in the sequence I teach the letters and sounds.



3. Reading at Home
When your child is reading at home, and comes to a word they don't know you can ask these questions:
a. What letter/sound does it start with?
b. Can you sound out the word?
c. What word makes sense?
d. You can use the list of strategies called "Stuck on a Word?"
