Tips for Parents of Young Readers

 

        Here are some tips for parents to use with young readers:

  • Bring a book or magazine along anytime your child has to wait, like at a doctor's office.
  • Encourage your child to reread their favorite books.
  • Ask your child questions about a book they just read.
  • Be Patient-give your child time to decode a word before telling them the word.
  • Encourage reading as a free time activity.
  • Play word games-Have your child sound out a word as you change it from mat to fat to sat.
  • Take turns reading.
  • Have your child help make lists, write thank-you notes or keep a journal.
