Things Parents Can Say to Help Their Children with Reading

Helpful prompts to use when listening to your child read:

“Look at the picture.” 

“Make the first sound, then go back and

reread.” 

“How does the word begin?” 

“Do you see any parts you know?” 

“Does that word make sense?” 

“Does that word look right?” 

“Does that word sound right?” 

“Go back and reread the whole sentence.”

Time Management

Whether it's finding socks or finishing homework, many parents assume children are simply time-challenged, and there’s little to be done about getting them to complete a task within a set schedule. But time management is just as teachable as reading and math.  It's just a matter of building simple tips and tricks into your daily routine.
