Prompts when reading at home
PAUSE: If your child comes to a tricky word stop and give
your child a chance to solve it.
PROMPT : If your child does not continue:
1. Ask, What can you do?
*Look at the picture
*Check the first letter
*Think about the story
2. If your child is still stuck on a tricky word suggest:
"Go back to the beginning of the sentence and try again"
"Think about what would make sense there."
3. If your child reads a word incorrectly you can ask:
Does that look right?
Does that sound right?
Does that make sense?
PRAISE: 1. Praise when the child reads well.
2. Praise when the child corrects him/herself.
