Helping Early Readers

HELPING EARLY READERS

May 15, 2009


I gave this presentation at the home of Melanie Henstrom, Oregon 2009 Young Mother of the Year.















Some tidbits from the presentation:


How Can You Help Your Child At Home?



  • READ MORE! As children increase their television viewing they are losing the ability to visualize.


  • Read to your children (even if they can read themselves).


  • Let your children read to you and listen.


  • Use the library. The library is appropriate for all levels of readers.


  • Establish quiet times for reading and teach by example.


  • Play board games and do puzzles together.


  • Provide varied life experiences.


  • Talk to them.


  • Be postivite and encouraging.

Remember . . .


Enjoy the story together. Reading must always be a rewarding experience. Have fun!
