What Parents Can Do
Reading is not a perfect process and if your child is having difficulty reading a book or feeling stressed, try doing one of the following:
- Read Aloud and Together ---- The child reads slightly behind you as you read in your normal reading voice.
- Take Turns--- You read a page, sentence, or paragraph and your child reads the next one.
- Read and Reread--- You read a page, sentence, or paragraph and then your child rereads it.
If the book is boring, too complex, or too silly--find another book. There is no fine for not reading the book and the aim is to build a love for reading.
