How are we motivating the students?
How can I support my child’s reading development at home?
• Have your child read aloud.
• Point out any missed words.
• Help your child read missed words correctly.
• Have your child reread the sentence to be sure
he/she understands the meaning.
• Create a quiet place for your child to study, do
homework, and read.
• Make time to do homework, study, and make
reading a part of their daily routine.
• Talk to your child’s teacher about his/her progress,
tips, and what you can do to help at home.
