Strategies for Reading at Home

To Our Arnold Family Members:

You are your child's first and most important teacher. It is important that you read to and with your child every day. However, there's more to reading together than just saying the words. Try asking them questions like these when you read together:

Talk about the story...
What does the auther say about....
Why was it important that....
Do you think this could really happen? Why or why not?

Talk about words and sounds....
Name some rhyming words for....
Let's count out the syllables in....
How many words on this page begin with the letter....
What are some words that mean the same as....

Talk about new words...
What is....
What's another word for....
What do we call.....

Remember your child has a password for Skatekids Online and can access it anywhere they can get on the internet. It is a great tool for working on reading skills and something you can enjoy together.

Check back in a couple of weeks for an update on DIBLES information! Have a great week!
