Reading At Home
Help your child to enjoy reading each day by making it part of their daily routine. Choose a time of day when you and your child are not too tired, and remember that a short daily session is better than an occasional long one.
Top Tips:
Encourage children to read with different family members and talk about what they are reading.
Help your child to read in different environments by pointing out signs, posters, packets and labels.
Ask your child to spot words they know in games, comics and magazines, and to use their phonics to help them work out any tricky words.
Join the library and allow your child to choose their own books. Follow their interests – books and magazines that appeal to them will help them develop a lifelong love of reading.
Your child is being taught to read systematically at school, but at home you can help them turn reading in to a habit. Keep reading to your child even after they have learned to read independently, as well as listening to them read. Let them see you reading for pleasure too.
It is hard work learning to read. Keep praising your child, especially when they are finding reading difficult. If your child is getting tired, stop, and try again the next day.
