During Reading
View this Note
  
 
  • Read with expression by noticing punctuation marks.
  • Listen to yourself so that everything you read makes sense, sounds right and matches the print.
  • Confirm or change your predictions as you learn more information
  • Stop at tricky words & tap, scoop,  & re-read  the sentence to understand.
  • If tapping out word does not help, tap out a few sounds & read on to the end of the sentence. Think about what word makes sense in that spot with those sounds.
 
     
 
After Reading
View this Note
  
 
  • Re-tell the beginning, middle and end of  the story in sequence. Have your child try to retell the story without looking at the pictures, but if they need the picture support at first, that's OK. With retell practice, your child's memory will improve.
  • Talk to your child about their  favorite part & ask for a reason why.
  • Talk about what this story makes your child  think of in their life. That's called a self to text connection.
  • Talk to your child about other books this story makes them think of. That's called a text to text conection.
