  26. What Research Tells Us Parents Can Do… • The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children --Becoming a Nation of Readers, 1985 • Read! Studies have shown that a child who has been read to grasps the idea early on, that print contains a message. Storybooks have a language all of their own. So the more stories that are read to your child, the better for him.

  27. Independent Reading: What can you do? • Encourage your child to bring books home from school. • Visit the public library and choose books your child can read independently as well as books for you to read to your child. • Set aside time every day for your child to read. • Turn off the T.V.—there is a clear connection between over-viewing of TV and underachievement in the classroom. --Jim Trelease,The Read-Aloud Handbook

  28. What Can You Do When the Reading Is Too Hard? • When it is clear to you that your child is not experiencing success with a particular reading task, simply offer to read the text to him/her. Always remember that asking children to struggle through a difficult text can do more harm than good.

  29. How to Help with a Tricky Word When your child comes to an occasional tricky word, please consider using a strategy called, Pause, Prompt and Praise. • Pause to give your child time to figure out the word. • After about 10 seconds, suggest an appropriate strategy for solving the difficulty. • After the reading is finished, praise your child for the specific strategies used to unlock the difficult words. Be specific!

  30. Reading Strategies • Look at the picture. • What would make sense? • Look at the first letter. What word could it be? • Go back and read it again. • Think it through. Pull the word apart. • Look for something that you know in the word. • Read ahead. • Ask for help.

  31. Conversations About Books We encourage you to have a conversation about books you are reading or your child is reading. You’ll want to have a conversation…. • Before reading • During the reading • After reading

  32. Encourage… … your child to read to you as well! Have him look at the pictures of the book first and make a prediction about what will happen next. Get your reader involved with the story by reading the pictures. This helps your child to think about the story. And remember, words and letters are everywhere! Cereal boxes, store signs, and road signs can be a window of opportunity for young readers. • FILL YOUR CHILD’S BACKPACK WITH EXPOSURE TO BOOKS!

  33. Final Thoughts Our goal is to develop Life-long strategic readers, So… Keep it positive Praise often And enjoy this special time together!
