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.
