Tips and Tidbits from Title I Reading

April 2024

Reading at home can make a huge difference!

Family time is so important. Why not make reading part of this valuable time with your kids? Here are some tips for integrating reading into your daily family activities:
Read bedtime stories and talk about the story as your read it. What do you think will happen next? What does this story remind you of? How do you think this character feels?
Play a board game.
Visit the local library.
Read a recipe and cook something yummy together!
Create a comfy reading space in your home.
Put your child in charge of reading the grocery list at the store.
Have reading materials available to read in the car or if your child has to wait for an appointment.

How Parents Can Support the Common Core Reading Standards

After reading nonfiction, ask questions about the information. Ex. Is the spider an insect?
During and after reading, call attention to interesting words/phrases. Ex. Sick as a dog
Encourage your child to describe how the illustrations within a book support the story.
Increase your child’s reading stamina (ability to “stick with it.”). Support your reading by talking through some of the things that make a text complex.
