Subject: Reading Strategies Author: Shusila Soobroyen [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:46:36 02/19/13 Tue In reply to: Shusila Soobroyen 's message, "Organizational skills" on 10:38:32 02/19/13 Tue Reading Strategies Shared reading is a very good way for parents to help with their children's reading. Try as hard as you can to do some nearly 10 minutes each day, and not more unless your child really wants to. Try to find a place that is comfortable and far from any distraction like TV or Radio. Try books with low reading age/high interest levels. When your child gets a word wrong, you just tell them what the word says. Then your child says it after you. Do not make the child struggle or 'break it up', or 'sound it out'. Give praise for : good reading of hard words, getting all the words in a sentence right, putting words right before you do and even making a good guess at a new word. Also draw attention to words that you run across in daily life, such as traffic signs, billboards, notices, and labels. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
