Thank you for joining our 3rd to 5th Grade Literacy Training! We explored ways to help your child transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" and shared practical strategies to support their reading comprehension, critical thinking, and writing skills at home.
Here are the key takeaways:
✅ Reading Variety is Key! Encourage your child to explore different genres — fiction, nonfiction, poetry, articles — to help them build knowledge, curiosity, and critical thinking skills.
✅ Comprehension Takes Practice. Ask your child open-ended questions about what they read, like “What is the main idea?” or “What lesson did the character learn?” to help them think more deeply about stories and nonfiction texts.
✅ Support Writing Skills. Help your child organize their thoughts by breaking writing into manageable steps — like starting with a topic sentence, adding details, and finishing with a conclusion.
✅ Make Reading a Daily Habit. Encourage 20-30 minutes of daily reading to build stamina and fluency. Let your child choose books that interest them and make reading enjoyable!
Remember, the goal is to help your child think critically about what they read and communicate their ideas clearly through writing. By supporting these skills at home, you’re setting them up for success in school and beyond.
