  2. What Good Readers Do Strategies to Help Your Child Become a Better Reader!

  3. Reading Strategies • 1.Look at the Picture (Use your eagle eye)-Before we read any words in a book we always take a “Picture Walk”. We talk about what is happening in the story just by looking at the pictures. This is one of the most important reading skills we have! Your child needs to use the pictures to help him/her read the words.

  4. Reading Strategies • 2. Get your Mouth Ready (Get your fish lips ready)-When your child gets to a word that he/she may not know, the first thing we say is “Get your mouth ready”. This simply means, get your mouth ready to say the 1st sound of the word. For example: If the word is rabbit, your child will get his/her mouth ready to say the • /r/ sound.

  5. Segment Words • When we speak, we blend sounds together to make a word. For example, when we say the word ham, we are blending the sounds /h/-/ã/-/m/ together quickly. To learn to spell, we need to take those individual sounds apart. That process is called segmenting. *A quick way to know if your child can segment words is to ask, "What sounds do you hear in the word pan?" If your child isn't able to easily identify the three individual sounds (/p/-/ã/-/n/), teach him how to segment words. This is an important skill that will make learning to spell so much easier for your student. http://www.all-about-spelling.com/segmenting-words.html-See the attached sheet “20 Words to Segment With Your Child”

  6. Most Common Word Families

  7. Words Inside of Words • In Kindergarten we tell students to look for “Chunks” in words when reading. This simply means to look for words inside of words. A chunk is a unit of letters commonly grouped in words. Chunks are found at the beginning, middle or end of words. For example, the an chunk is in the words and, sand, man, ant, can etc...Teaching students how to recognize common chunks can help them figure out new words when reading and writing.

  8. Blends and Diagraphs • -Blends are combinations of consonants where you can still hear the two separate sounds,( br, cr, pl.) • -Digraphs are where two letters are used to represent a single sound - sh, th, wh, ch.

  9. Look for Sight Words • -Sight words are words that your child sees in books regularly • -Sight words should be memorized and recognized quickly. • -Your child should be able to read AND spell sight words • -Flashcards

  10. Memorization Reading • It is okay if your child is memorizing a story after several readings. • Example 1: Goldilocks and the Three Bears • Your child may have heard this story several times and can now tell you the story. • Example 2: We Can Go • Your child has read the story several times and has memorized the words but may not be reading the words. • This is a pre-reading stage. This helps to build confidence as a reader.

  11. Ways To Help At Home • READ WITH YOUR CHILD EVERYDAY!! Even if it is only for 5 or 10 minutes! • Ask your child to tell you what happened in the story (recall details). • Sequence the events of the story. What happened 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc... • Make predictions about what you think might happen next. • Ask questions! Who was in the story? Where did the story take place? Why do you think that happened? What was the problem in the story?

  12. Book Boxes • 1. Find a shoe box (or any other small box) Make sure that it will fit a ½ size paper inside. • 2. Wrap the box with fun paper and decorate. • 3. Find a special place for the box. • 4. Every time a “shoe box book” comes home put it in the box. • *Encourage your child to continue reading these fun little books!
