Simple Steps Help Your Child Become a Strong Reader

You don't need to be a teacher to help your child become a strong reader. There are many simple steps you can take to boost reading skills.

Here are a few:

• Encourage your child to retell stories. Have your student describe the pictures in a book or tell you about key points in the plot.
• Keep a variety of reading materials your child enjoys all around the house.
• Provide a comfortable place at home for your child to read.
• Ask questions about stories as you read together. Then give your child time to think before answering. Encourage your student to ask questions, too!
• Listen and show interest in your child's ideas and reactions.
