  1. BEST WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR CHILD'S READING FLUENCY

  2. Like most parents, you’re probably want to make sure your child becomes a fluent reader, as this vital skill is the building block for so much of his education.

  3. By surrounding your child with reading opportunities of all sorts as well as letting him see you enjoy spending time reading, you can certainly set him off in the right direction.

  4. However, not all kids learn at the same pace, and some have specific problems that can be addressed with the right help and encouragement.

  5. Here are some pointers on how to encourage a love of reading and how to address any potential stumbling blocks.

  6. LET’S GO TO THE LIBRARY

  7. Public libraries are an amazing resource for parents who want to instill a love of literature in their children.

  8. The more kids read, the better their skills, and libraries offer loads of book-based programs for children from babies to teens.

  9. Sign your preschooler up for a fun-filled story hour combining reading and crafts, be sure your school-age child keeps up skills …

  10. … by participating in a summer reading program, and get your teen involved in special library activities for older kids.

  11. Of course, the library is always a great place to find the best books!

  12. BOOKS OF THEIR OWN

  13. Kids’ reading scores have been found to be higher among youngsters who are growing up in a home surrounded by reading material.

  14. Make sure there are plenty of books and magazines at your child’s level around the house from cool bug books to fantastical novels and colorful kids’ magazines.

  15. Every room in the house can be a place to dive into a book. Youngsters can relax on the couch with a favorite mystery …

  16. … read recipes while helping with dinner in the kitchen or snuggle up in bed at the end of the day with a beloved novel.

  17. READING, READING EVERYWHERE

  18. Children can practice reading anywhere, anytime, not just when they’re engrossed in a novel.

  19. Find fun ways to help your child improve skills.

  20. Let him read: Roadside signs Weather reports Game directions Food labels Billboards Restaurant Menu

  21. Good old-fashioned board games are a super and fun way to boost reading skills and have quality time with family.

  22. Reading is so much a part of everyday life that you don’t have to wait until your child is sitting down with a book to help her with reading skills.

  23. MAKE FAMILY READING TIME A TRADITION

  24. Once kids are older and can read on their own schedule family reading time into the evening’s activities.

  25. Just 15 to 30 minutes of everyone in the family reading silently lets kids see you enjoy reading …

  26. … and also gets them in the habit of finding some time each day to escape into a book.

  27. KEEP UP TO DATE

  28. Be pro-active in tracking your youngster’s reading progress. Find out from the school what the expectations are for each grade level …

  29. … and then track your child’s basic reading skills on report cards and standardized test results.

  30. Due to the size of today’s classes and the increased demands on instructors, your child’s teacher may not notice a problem …

  31. … until it’s become serious so sit with your child and make sure she can sound out words, has good comprehension …

  32. … knows sight words and can use the context of a sentence to figure out the meaning of unknown words.

  33. HIRE A TUTOR

  34. For kids who are really struggling, the best option may be hiring a tutor, and the sooner your child …

  35. … gets the help she needs, the more likely she’ll be to develop into a good and confident reader.

  36. Teachers don’t always have the time to give kids necessary individualized help, while a tutor can work one-on-one with your child or a small group of kids.

  37. Many schools or after- school programs have certified teachers and reading specialists available to help your young reader …

  38. … improve reading skills and comprehension, gaining confidence and hopefully becoming an enthusiastic reader.

  39. Boost up your child’s reading fluency by signing up for an academic tutoring at Maplewood Summer Day Camp.

  40. Experienced staff will keep your child both safe and busy with arts and crafts, games, water sports, gymnastics and more.
