3 Tips for Better Reading
D by Ann Mitchell, owner, Castle Rock Tutoring
id your parent’s ever say, “sound it out” when you struggled on a word? I know I have said that a million times. There are so many di erent ways you can help your child when they struggle with some of the words while reading. Of course, we all know the ve nger trick, right? No? First and foremost when children begin to read and pick out their own books at the library. Going to the library is so cool! First, pick a page then have them read. It doesn’t matter what page it is. If they make ve mistakes on one page that book is too hard for them. If they read and only make two maybe three mistakes that is what we call a Just Right Book.
So the three tips that can help your child with some stubborn words are: 1. Just try again. If your child gets stuck have them reread and try again. Then...
2. Did it make sense to you? Ask them if that word made sense to them. If you see that the word is completely wrong have them reread and see if it makes sense. For example: if the sentence says, That boy has a green hat on his head. They say the word green as blue have them look at the picture and the word. Ask them again does that make sense?
3. Does that sound right? Does it look right? These two suggestions can go together because if you see that the child said blue instead of green ask, Does that look right, Does that sound right? What sound does the letter ‘b’ make? What sound does the letter ‘g’ make? Just having the children recognizing the letters and sound di erences will help them to remember.
