Every day you watch your child get a little bit more capable and a little bit more interested in exploring reading. But you may find yourself wondering whether or not it’s the “right” time to begin working on reading readiness.
We’re here to explain what reading readiness is and let you know what to look for and how you can help your child get excited about their reading journey!
Reading to children is the single most important thing you can do to contribute to their future reading success. Reading aloud directly influences your child’s perception of how exciting and fulfilling books can be!
By sharing the magic of reading with your child, you can help develop their interest in learning to read and, later, mastering it!
Shared reading is a collaborative activity during which a child and a grown-up share the reading of a book in order to model strategies that proficient readers use.
Learning vocabulary is one of the most essential steps in your child’s journey toward becoming a strong, consistent reader. But we know it can also be a little daunting for parents to know exactly how to teach vocabulary.
With almost 200,000 words in the English language, where do you even start? Have no fear! Working on vocabulary with your child can be fun and easy, and we’re here to help.
Reading fluency, like so many other milestones in a child’s life, is something that can take kids a while to achieve. But with practice, consistency, and patience, your young learner will be reading with the best of them!
Our experts at HOMER are here to walk you through what reading fluency is, why it matters, and how to encourage your child down the path toward smooth, confident reading.
