This will help the child learn that reading goes from left to right and understand that the word he or she says is the word he or she sees. ✪ Read a child's favorite book over and over again. :) ✪ Read many stories with rhyming words and lines that repeat. Invite the child to join in on these parts. Point, word by word, as he or she reads along with you. ✪ Discuss new words. For example, "This big house is called a palace. Who do you think lives in a palace?” ✪ Stop and ask about the pictures and about what is happening in the story. ✪ Read from a variety of children's books, including fairy tales, song books, poems, and information books. |
Reading RecoveryA Reading Recovery teacher has special training to find out exactly what your child finds hard about reading and writing. Your child’s Reading Recovery lessons will be based on what he or she knows and will be adapted to make it easy to learn. The teacher will give your child an individual 30-minute lesson every day for 12 to 20 weeks. In that time you should see your child’s reading and writing improve quickly. This new learning usually helps children feel more confident about classroom work, too.
