How can I help my child read?
Don’t let your child get frustrated!
-Be positive-Choose the “just right book”-Read aloud to your child-Sing songs (be sure to have a copy of the lyrics)-You read a page, your child reads the same page-Reread books-Paired Reading (The Fluent Reader, Rasinski, 2003)
*Reading is just like sports. You have to practice a lot to be successful.
