Reading Tips

RRRR          Reading at Home Can Make a HUGE Difference

 

Five Finger Rule

Use the five finger rule when helping your child choose a book that is at an appropriate level. Open the book to any page and ask your child to read.  Put up a finger every time your child does not know a word.  If you have put up more than five fingers before the end of the page, this book is too hard for your child.

 

Choose books that match your child’s likes and interests.
