In order to effectively coach young readers we need to be able to offer them encouragement and support as they read. There are several strategies and ideas to this end. Remember that all students learn differently- so what works for one child may not be good for another child. These strategies may be used cooperatively to create an ideal learning environment. I will be posting on this blog under the label "reading tools."Keep It Stress-Free
While it may be frustrating for you and your child to read together it is important to make reading an enjoyable activity. Read in a fun place (playhouse, or under the bed with a flashlight). Read to a pet or favorite doll. And above all- check your own patience. Kids often can detect our stress levels, sometimes its hard to stop what we are working on just to read for fifteen minutes with them. Believe me, if you are not interested, they will not be interested. Your investment to their lives as readers is worth it!
