Help with Reading
If your student is struggling with reading, don't freak out. Here are a few different ways to help them.
Reading aloud to your student can be such a great way to help their reading ability. You are the model that your student looks up to as they read themselves. Show them that reading is fun not school work. So the best thing you can do is read, read, read with your student. Here is a video of me reading The Good Egg by Jory John.
Read Aloud Stories
If you do not have time to read a story to your student then let them watch one of their favorite celebrities read it to them. Students love this and it is fun and free.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy is on a mission to give a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Their personalized learning resources are available for all ages. Video learning segments are followed by practice activities.
Epic
Epic does cost money but has a free trial.
This is a great place for your students to read thousands of books and even get them read to them. They can follow along with the words as it reads to them. They then have a short quiz at the end to help with comprehension.
