Here are some reading strategies you may try at home:<\/h1>\n

Parent Strategy: Check for Understanding<\/strong><\/h1>\n

As a reader and a learner sometimes we read along and then realize, what was I reading? We drift off or lose focus. Sometimes we need to think about our comprehension. We need to use the strategy: Check for Understanding, because readers stop frequently and check for understanding or to ask who and what questions.<\/h4>\n

How can you help with this at home?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. When read to\/or with your child, stop and say, “Let’s see what we just read. Think about the who the story is about and the what happened. ” Do this several times throughout the story.<\/li>\n
  2. Use the phrase “I heard you say….” and reiterate and check for understanding in the story.<\/li>\n
  3. Ask your child questions like:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Who did you just read about?<\/p>\n

    What just happened?<\/p>\n

    Was your brain talking while you were reading?<\/p>\n

    What just happened?<\/p>\n

    What should you do if you don’t remember?<\/p>\n

    Thank you for your support at home!<\/h3>\n

    CAFE Strategy: Blend Sounds, Stretch and Reread<\/h1>\n

    Beginning readers spend a lot of time decoding and sounding out new words. This is an essential early literacy strategy. Beginning readers first learn individuals sounds and this can create choppy sounding beginning words.<\/p>\n

    Taking individual sounds and blending them together can be a very important first step to becoming a reader. As with any skill it is important to practice, practice and practice even more! Here are a few ideas on how you can help your child with this strategy at home.<\/p>\n

    1. When reading and blending sounds together, tell your child to listen for a familiar word.<\/h3>\n

    2. Give your child a large rubber band and have them pull it slowly larger and stretch it while saying a simple three letter word ( bat, dog, cat, cap, hat, dig). Write the word down so as the child stretches the rubber band they are also looking at the letters\/word. When they are finished with saying all the sounds, say the word blended together and release the rubber band.<\/h3>\n

    3. When reading, say to your child, “Say each letter as you stretch and then put them together quickly and say it fast.” Show your child: d-o g….dog.<\/h3>\n

    4. If your child still is struggling or sounds choppy, try singing as they say the word.<\/h3>\n
