Simple Ways Parents Can Help Their Kids With Reading
1. Let your child see you reading! Have magazines and books in your home.

2. Help your child find appropriate word and reading games on the computer. Keep a dictionary on hand, help your child look up new words they read/hear.

3. Read mysteries with your child and try to figure out the clues together.

4. Movie version coming out? Read the book together first, then talk about which you each liked better.

5. Set aside a time and place for your child to read - like a comfy chair with a reading light.

6. Visit your public library regularly. Look for and read together the books that were your favourites when you were a kid.

7. Encourage your child to write - letters, thank you notes, emails, lists, stories about their own trips and holidays, events and daily life.

8. Ask your child questions about what he/she is reading, such as;
-what is the story about?
-who are the important characters in the story?
-where does the story take place?
-why do you think the character made that choice?
-why did that happen?
-how did you know about ...?

9. Read poems and nursery rhymes out loud.

10. With younger children, make a game out of finding words that rhyme or words that start with the same letter or sound.
