    Reading At Home…Can Make A HUGE Difference!
    Make Reading A Part Of Your Family Time!
    Here are some tips for integrating reading into our daily family activities:
    - Read bedtime stories
    - Play a board game
    - Visit your local library
    - Read a recipe and cook something yummy together
    - Create a comfy reading space in your home 
    - Put your child in charge of reading the grocery list at the store
     
    Choose Books That Are At An Appropriate Reading Level For Your Child
    - Use the five finger rule. 
    Open the book to any page and ask your child to read. Put up a finger every time your child does not know a word. If you have put up more than five fingers before the end of the page, this book is too hard for your child. 
     
    How To Read With A Beginning Reader: 
    - Encourage your child to use his/her finger to point to each word.
    - Read a sentence and have your child repeat it. 
    - Take turns reading a sentence each or a page each. 
    - Talk about the story as you read it. What do you think will happen next?
    What does this story remind you of? How do you think this character feels?
    - Don’t be afraid to read the same book again! Repeated reading helps build reading fluency!
     
    Check For Understanding
    - Start the book by making predictions. What do you think will happen in this story?
    - Ask questions and make comments during the reading process.
    - After reading a book, have your child tell you the events from the story in the correct order. 
    - What was the problem in this story?
    - How did the character feel when…?
    - Encourage your child to make connections. Does this story remind you of another book you read,
    an event in your life, a movie?
