WORKING THROUGH GRIEF
READ FOR SUCCESS
Students who read well are more likely to be academically successful. You can help your child by:- Using the newspaper. Point out articles of interest for them to read. Involve them in a conversation about the article. Ask them to underline new words in an article then look them up together.
- Scheduling reading time every day. Research shows that students who read very day are more likely to read faster.
- Learning a new word every day. Find words in books your child is reading or ask the teacher for a list. Have the family use the word in different sentences throughout the day to reinforce it's meaning.
