Ways to Help Your Child with Reading

A very common question in third grade from parents is "How can I help my child in reading?"
The first way is to be sure they are reading every night and logging in on their reading log in their reading folder. This is a grade. There have been 2 collected so far.

Another way is to help them review reading vocabulary words and help them with the questions at the end of the story if they need help. You can look in their reader's notebook and see the focus for each week. Ask your child to explain the focus to you and how they use it in reading.

But really...the way to become a better reader is to read. So read with them, to them, or have them tell you about what they read.
Until next time,
