Reading

READ, READ, READ!!! The only way to get better is to practice!

*Fluency (reading accurately with speed) and comprehension is the goal.

*Reading needs be practiced daily whether it is assigned or not.

- read to your child or listen to your child read

- read with your child (take turns or read in sync).

- read appropriate level books (not too hard)- easy books and reading same book over and over helps to build fluency

- check for understanding: ask your child questions about the text;

discuss story elements (characters, setting, events, problem/solution)
