Reading strategies for K-5 readers

When implementing at-home reading, set your reader up for success by:

• Creating a schedule, putting first things first (ex. reading before video games)
• Coach your child when they are independently reading with the reading strategies chart (linked above) and listen for opportunities to coach for:
  • Comprehension
  • Accuracy
  • Fluency
  • Vocabulary
• Use sight words or vocabulary words from reading to work on during games/centers/word study time

You are your child's first teacher and number one coach!

"The best thing you can do for a struggling reader is to read to them or listen to books with them.  This teaches them to love escaping into books, and continues to expose them to the structure of written language, vocabulary and background knowledge at their comprehension level while they become proficient readers."  Tips for homeschooling your struggling reader, Wyoming Tribune Eagle
