Early Literacy Support

How You Can Help At Home

Here are some ways you can support your child's reading skills:

Stay positive! Our brains are like a muscle, and the more we work at learning new skills, the more we will learn and grow. Ask your child what they are learning, and how it is going. Talking positively about school and learning, and setting high expectations about learning are some of the best supports that you can provide. We believe in your child, and together we can help them improve their reading skills.
Try it at home! If you are interested and it fits into your family’s schedule, you can spend some time each week working on the same skills that we are working on in the classroom. Please reach out to your child's teacher or check out her class website to learn more about what is happening in the classroom and what you could be doing at home to help.
Keep in touch! You can reach out to your child’s teacher to ask questions and/or share how things are going at home. If you would like to talk more about your child's results, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher(s).
