Reading Rockets is a wonderful resource for tips and information on reading and anything relating to literacy. Here are some tips from them to help support your child at home. Reading tips in other languages here.<\/a><\/h3>\n

Talk to your child<\/h3>\n

Ask your child to talk about his day at school. Encourage him to explain something they did, or a game he played during recess.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Say silly tongue twisters<\/h3>\n

Sing songs, read\u00a0rhyming<\/span>\u00a0books, and say silly tongue twisters. These help kids become sensitive to the sounds in words.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Read it and experience it<\/h3>\n

Connect what your child reads with what happens in life. If reading a book about animals, relate it to your last trip to the zoo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Use your child\u2019s name<\/h3>\n

Point out the link between letters and sounds. Say, \u201cJohn, the word\u00a0jump<\/em>\u00a0begins with the same sound as your name. John,\u00a0jump<\/em>. And they both begin with the same letter, J.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Play with puppets<\/h3>\n

Play language games with puppets. Have the puppet say, \u201cMy name is Mark. I like words that rhyme with my name. Does\u00a0park<\/em>\u00a0rhyme with Mark? Does\u00a0ball\u00a0<\/em>rhyme with Mark?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trace and say letters<\/h3>\n

Have your child use a finger to trace a letter while saying the letter\u2019s sound. Do this on paper, in sand, or on a plate of sugar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Write it down<\/h3>\n

Have paper and pencils available for your child to use for writing. Working together, write a sentence or two about something special. Encourage her to use the letters and sounds she\u2019s learning about in school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Play sound games<\/h3>\n

Practice\u00a0blending<\/span>\u00a0sounds into words. Ask \u201cCan you guess what this word is? m – o – p.\u201d Hold each sound longer than normal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Read it again and again<\/h3>\n

Go ahead and read your child\u2019s favorite book for the 100th time! As you read, pause and ask your child about what is going on in the book.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Talk about letters and sounds<\/h3>\n

Help your child learn the names of the letters and the sounds the letters make. Turn it into a game! \u201cI\u2019m thinking of a letter and it makes the sound mmmmmm.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
