READING IS AMAZING!

This post is about helping your child read at home. 

Some of you may have started using the PM eCollection already which is fantastic. 

Today is the first day your child will be taking readers home. 

Below I have sent you some 'tips' for you to follow at home when reading with your child. I have sent these to you so you are following the same routine as the classroom. 

I have also added a video as an example of a guided reading session in the classroom. It is basic but shows how I would introduce a new book and how to correct students if they make a mistake. It is in two parts. I hope it helps. 

Reading should be fun and enjoyable and as Dr Suess would say....

PART ONE

PART TWO

Tips for reading at home with your child:

- Introduce the book to your child. Show them the pictures and mention some of the harder words on the page

- Students need to ‘finger point’ to each word.

- Tell them the first word if struggling. 

- When reading let your child look at the pictures for clues as this is an essential part of reading

- Don’t worry if your child is unsure of most words, this is the process of reading. 

- Practice the books every day for fluency and accuracy
