Reading at Home
This video series created by Gail Boushey will teach your child how to gradually build reading satmina.
This is the same system I use in the classroom.
Hello parents! Right now, many children around the world are learning from home because their school is temporarily closed. Students who don't read at home will lose the most ground. In this video series, I begin by teaching the necessary skills to successfully read by yourself. Then I become your child's “reading buddy” by reading quietly together to build our reading stamina. Play one of the videos for your child, and I will keep them accountable to their reading. Plus, with them reading quietly, you’ll be able to engage in the work you need to complete.
After completing the video series, your child will have the skills and ability to be engaged in reading for long periods of time, wherever they are.
