How Can I Improve My Child's Reading Skills
Try these 6 effective ways to increase your child's reading skills:
- Establish a regular reading routine. Create an environment of regular reading in your home.
- Encourage your child to read on a regular basis. Set aside time each day for independent reading.
- Help your reluctant reader to find books that they love. Find out what your child's interests are and get books that keep your child interested in reading.
- Use reading examples outside of books. Read the traffic signs, restaurant signs, street signs, and other signs you see while driving in the car for example. Have your child read the labels on food or things in the store. Use every opportunity to encourage reading.
- Stay involved in your child's reading education. Talk to your child's teacher regularly about your child's reading progress and how you can help at home.
- Never give up on your child!
