Reading Tip for May

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!
