Reading Tip of the Week

When in Doubt... Go Back and Read it Again!

When your child has sounded out an unfamiliar word, have him or her go back and re-read that sentence. Then ask your child if the sentence now makes sense.  Often kids are so busy figuring out a word they lose the meaning of what they've just read.  Let your child know this valuable strategy is what good readers do!
