The Importance Of Reading At Home With Your Child
Three ways you can help build fluency at home
- Read and follow – the adult reads the text and the child follows along with their finger. This helps the child with word recognition and models to them how they should read with fluency.
- My turn, your turn – take turns reading a page or a paragraph. Here you are modelling how to read with fluency, flow and expression.
- Echo Reading – as you read, the child copies. It is important here to pace yourself and read at a rate that your child can keep up with.
