Parent Reading Tips #1

Helping a child at a time of frustration when they are reading, doesn't necessarily mean telling the child a "tricky" word.  Prompting the child to use strategies is more beneficial to reading growth.
Below are a few prompts that you can try at home when working on reading.

"You try it."
"what could you try?"
"What do you think it could be?"
"Do you know a word like that?"
"You said...Does that make sense?"
"You said...Does it sound right?"
"You said...Does that look right?"
"It could be...but look at..."
"Check to see if what you read looks and sounds right."
"Try that again."
