Stuck on Reading? I’ve Got Some Ideas for You

Sometimes we think our kids will learn to read by being read to. For some kids, this work beautifully. They follow along and their brains just figure it out.

I am sure we all know someone who taught themself how to read!

I am also sure that we all know someone who is struggling to learn to read. No matter how hard we try it just doesn't seem to click.

What is a parent supposed to do?

I have some simple ideas that might work for you!

• Go ALL the way back to the basic alphabet. Have your child practice saying the letters and sounds. (Remember, you need to be a part of that process. You say the letter with them and you say the sound with them until you are certain they know it. Bad practice sticks in their minds just as much as good practice.)

• Practice create CVC words. What is that? Consonant-Vowel-Consonant word like cat, mat, rat. Have your child use letter tiles to manipulate the letters and their sounds. If your child is ready to write the letters, use a whiteboard and have them write the words.
• Use decodable texts and games to support their reading. Working at the "just right" level and building independence is crucial to your child's reading success.
