Advice to Parents on Listening to Your Child Read


Reading at Home with your Child
Remember the 5 Ps.

Prepare
- Right Place
- Right Time
- Right Book
Pause
· This means WAIT. Don’t tell, don’t signal. Give the child a chance to THINK.
Praise
· This makes your child feel good about him or herself and good about reading.
Prompt
· If your child makes a mistake that doesn’t make sense, help him or her correct it.
Probe
· Comprehension is reinforced when you discuss the content of the material before, during and after reading.
