I'm currently studying for the certificate in teaching children and teens with dyslexia and working in a school as a learning support assistant. From my studies and work, I've put together ten tips which could be given to parents, to help them have enjoyable reading sessions with their child. The list could be easily kept on a fridge or notice board for ease of reference.

10 Top Tips for Enjoyable Reading Together:-
� Follow the First Golden Rule � tell them the word.

� Adopt the Second Golden Rule - pause, prompt, praise.

. Wait until the end of a line before correcting mistakes to allow time for self correction.

� Make a wide variety of genres of books available in your home, ensuring that the content will interest your child. Let your child choose what they read.

� Take time to read with your child � a quality ten minutes is better than a difficult half hour.

� Let your child see you enjoying reading books, magazines and news papers etc.

� Visit the library together.

� Read to your child, or try sharing the reading. Reading a sentence each, will help with the recognition of sentences.

� Listen to audio books together to promote good listening skills, which in turn will develop reading comprehension ability.

� And remember, praise your child�s efforts and their time spent reading, to encourage confidence and independence.

(Have fun reading!)
