WHAT CAN I DO AT HOME TO HELP MY CHILD WITH READING? For Reading Recovery students in grade 1: -Have your child read the books in their Reading Recovery bag to you. -If your child needs support, remind them to: -Think about the story. -Go back and reread. -Try it again. -OR just give them the word. -Read story books TO your child. Then discuss the story. Ask questions like: -Who were the characters in this story? -What was the problem? Solution? -What happened from beginning to end? -What connection did you make to this story? -What was the most important part in this story? Why? -Visit a website to enjoy listening and reading books at many levels. -Your child may listen to a story read to him/her. Click on English with the audio signal to hear the title read aloud. -When your child is ready, he/she may read a book after listening to it a few times, by not clicking on English (with the audio symbol) under each page. https://www.uniteforliteracy.com/ -Read books at your child’s level TO your child. -Visit https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/bookwizard/ and select the “Reading System” as DRA. You can match the book level to the books on the back of your child’s books in their Reading Recovery bag. -Most of these books are at the local public library. -Have your child write about a book they read. -Remember they can say words slowly and write what they hear. Not all the words may be spelled correctly and it’s ok! Encourage them to add detail. -Have your child write a sticker/picture story with materials you have at home. -Visit the public library- books, movies, audio books! They also have great online support, if you have a library card. http://www.frankfortlibrary.org https://www.tplibrary.org/ -There are many online resources and apps available: http://www.abcya.com http://www.abcmouse.com/- 30-day free trial http://www.starfall.com
