Reading Specialist

You can continue to support your child at home by doing any of the following simple and free activities:

• Read to your child often. You can read books above their reading level so they can grow comprehension skills.
• Have your child read to you at their independent level. Great times for having children read is while you are making dinner or in the car.
• Read aloud directions on video games, recipes, menus or signs
• Write emails, texts or letters to friends or relatives.
• Play rhyming games in the car, in the grocery store, waiting in line etc. Adult says a word and the child gives a rhyming pair.  Or give your child two words and ask if they rhyme.
• Buddy read- child reads one page and the adult reads the next page.
• When your child is finished reading a story have them tell you the characters, main idea, problem and solution.
