Reading Suggestions

  • Make flashcards from the sight words page.  You can use them to play games such as concentration, go fish, etc.
  • Make sure your child is reading books on their learning level.  It is better to go too easy then too difficult.  When the text is too challenging your child can quickly get discouraged.
  •   Make letter flashcards cards and review the sounds of letters.  Your child can help make the letter cards by drawing a picture on the back that starts with each particular sound.
  • “Bob Books” are excellent for phonics-based reading.  They come in sets of 10. They can be purchased on Amazon or other book stores.  Have them read each book several times to increase fluency.
  • Read daily with your child for at least 20 minutes.  Read to them also. They can follow along with your finger as you read each word.
