HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR CHILD BECOME A BETTER READER?

 

Questions: (Ask at least one question from each section daily.) Support your answers by finding evidence from the text.

Every Day: Make a prediction! Make a connection!

1. What was the conflict and resolution in the story?

2. What is a cause and effect example in the story?

3. Retell the story in sequence. (Beginning, middle, ending)

4. Give a summary of what you read.

5. Make an inference about information in the passage.

1. Who are the main characters in your book?

2. What is the setting of your book?

3. What is the author’s purpose for writing your book?

         (Think: Persuade, Inform, Entertain) How do you know?

4. What is the main idea of your book?

5. Is your story fiction or non-fiction and why?

 

 

Strategies to use when you come to a word they don’t know:

Use context clues (clues from the pictures and text)

Go back and reread

Look at the beginning and ending sounds

Look carefully at the words

Recall basic sight words (flashcards are helpful)

Chunk the word into smaller segments

Use your finger to slide the chunks together
