how can i get my little girl to improve on her reading?

Question

she is behind on reading and needs alot of help..any suggestions?

Answer 1

like they said...go to the library, let her sit in on story time. computer games that read along, Leapster is great. Read to her. Wal-Mart has some great books at every stage of reading. I the back of the book is a little test and some have reward stickers. Have her read the signs while driving in the car. We'd play an alphabet game. Trying to find, in order, all the letters of the alphabet from the first letter of words. She'd have to say, E for EXIT...

Good luck. Get her to read now and early and school will be so much easier

My daughter is the opposite, she loves to read and devours books. She is kinda at a standstill with it though. Her fav is Harry Potter and she finished the 7th book in 1.5 months?!? (she's 10) and now doesn't know what to read.

Answer 2

The library is the best way to get children excited about books - take her to story time and be sure to linger and check out books she likes -even if they are "older books" for example if she is in first grade and wants to read a third grade book let her it will help her feel confident and improve her reading all at once. I also really like the SRA packs from Hooked on Phonics (about $30 on EBay) they are small 1 page stories that encourage retention and comprehension as well as story content which really helps in overall reading and writing later in life. The most important thing is to set time aside for reading and sit and read with her. You don't have to read the same book but it is proven that children who see their parents read learn to read for leisure and become better readers. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Read to her (and with her, tracing the words with your finger). Let her choose a fun bedtime story, not something she's supposed to read for school.

Encourage her to read to you.

Read yourself, and make a point of talking about what you've read. Not great literary discussions, but "The newspaper says it will be raining this afternoon, so you'd better take your coat". "I looked in the TV magazine and there's a new series of (kids' show) starting soon".

Do things together which involve reading - cooking following a recipe, for instance.

Just try to make it part of your (and her) everyday life, instead of a chore.

Answer 4

The quandary that lots of parents find themselves in is they do not have the full time to look for the right eBook s and learning design with which to instruct their kiddies but with this particular program https://tr.im/mA1Ux , Children Learning Reading this issue is come to a end.
Children Learning Reading is really detailed, and your youngster will have number problems assimilating the instructions because the lessons are well-designed. Because the machine is based on phonetics, the educational process is gradual.
In Children Learning Reading program the classes are unique and can't be present in different understanding methods.

Answer 5

I bought my daughter a computer game that had a lot of phonics in it....I would make her play it for maybe a half an hour a day. I also would read to her, and then find books we could read together. It seems a lot of schools are more fixed on sight reading than phonics...and I think phonics works better.

Answer 6

Read to her, visit the library, encourage her to read to you, let her see you enjoying reading. Most of all, make reading fun, not a chore. And be patient - not all kids are ready to read at the same age.

Answer 7

Read to her. I'm thirteen years old and my teacher said that children improve on reading, when read to. I hope I helped.

Answer 8

my dad would sit me down next to him and make me read every word, but i took as much time as i needed, don't try to speed her up, and eventually she will want to read more and more, because she knows she can take her time, and she can read if she tries, it sinks into the brain,

make her re-read the sentence once she is finished with it too. that will help

Answer 9

read to her and let her read back...

when you read to her, use your finger to point the words as you go along..

i also heard that having her try to read the newspaper is very helpful, something about keeping her informed + building vocab...

Answer 10

I STARTED MY FOUR KIDS WITH VERY EASY BOOKS , LIKE THE ONES YOU READ TO THEM WHEN THEY ARE BABIES. THESE BOOKS HAVE BRIGHT PICTURES AND BOLD PRINT WITH SIMPLE WORDS. THEY WILL MASTER THESE FAST! AND GIVE THEM QUICK CONFIDENCE. I THEN WENT TO DR. SEUSS ABC BOOK ( A FAVORITE FOR HELPING EARLY READERS) . JUST KEEP THEM VERY VERY SIMPLE TO START.
