Reading Resources: Day 5

Reading Strategy: Oral Reading

It is vital that your child read and be read to often! To help your child become a better, it starts with reading to them. When they hear you read, they hear what a good reader sounds like.

We are so lucky to have access to RAZ Kids. They can listen to the book being read fluently and they can model that as they read the book themselves (and successfully, because they heard it first!). This program is also great because it allows your child to read at their own level.

Fun Ways to Practice Reading at Home

As you have seen in your child's homework folder, we focus a lot of attention on sight words. These words make up 70% of the words we read, so if we know those, reading is much easier! If drilling the words on your child's is not working, try one of these:

• Have your child write sight words with glitter glue
• Have your child write sight words with wikki stix
• Have your child write sight words with playdoh
• Have your child write sight words with puffy paint
