What can you do at home?
Ask your child to, “Try a different sound for that letter or chunk.” “Try accenting a different syllable. Keep trying until you recognize the word.”
When your child’s error changes the meaning of the sentence, ask: “Did that make sense? Can you reread that part?”
Use a comprehension question from the Skills Card to start a discussion.
