WAYS TO HELP CHILDREN IMPROVE READING FLUENCY AND SKILLS Once children have mastered the beginning skills of reading, it is important to encourage reading fluency. Reading fluency requires that students have skills to adjust to comprehension breakdowns and that they are able to use and think about what they read critically. By the third grade, students should begin to understand how to self-correct as they read, how to use cues in the text to guide attention and meaning and how to connect and reflect upon what they are reading. Identifying the words on a page is not enough at this stage; instead, good readers know the how, what and why of reading. There are many ways to encourage children to become more critical, active readers. The tips below help children to develop reading fluency and to acquire and refine certain key reading strategies, like self-correction. For further activities and tips on how to improve children's reading, there are links listed at the end of this page.

The message is clear and, thank goodness, frequent: "Help your child become a more successful reader by reading to him OR her from the time your child is born." Research has shown that it works better than any reading drills, expensive pre-school programs or reading instruction to help a child learn to read. Besides that, it's cheap and it's fun for both parent and child. However, there's more. It's not enough to just read aloud for a few minutes, kiss the child goodnight and leave the room. You've got to stick around a while.

How Parents Can Help Children Learn Vivian Franz, Ph.D. COMMUNICATE. Talk with your child. Set aside some time each day just to talk and to share. Listen to your child. Get in the habit of looking at your child while you are talking together. Teach your child to look at the teacher when he/she is talking. This practice helps us to focus on what is being said. We learn more. SPEND TIME TOGETHER. Read to or with your child. The young child needs the practice, and all children benefit from the shared time and the enjoyment. Go places together the park, the museum, or the zoo. Even short bus rides are interesting. Go to the public library on a regular basis. Check out books and records for the entire family. Make games and buy games. An old catalog and a good imagination can brighten many a rainy day. Buy games that require thinking and extend skills. Go to the store together to buy reference books and old-favorite hardback books to keep in the family for years. (Buy lots of paperbacks, too, more reading for the money.)

Hesiod Links to Resources on the Internet Some Simple Ways To Help Your Elementary Child Learn to Read Prepared by the Curriculum and Instruction Team at FCRR Marcia Grek, Ph.D. Carol Robinson, Ph.D. Mary Van Sciver, M.S. Michelle Wahl, M.S. Kindergarten 1. Create a special workspace and schedule daily quiet time for your child to do his/her homework from school. Be sure this is a time you are available to help if needed. 2. Schedule 15 minutes of special time everyday to read to your child. Before you read each book, read the title and look at the cover and pictures inside. Ask your child what she thinks the book may be about (prediction). After reading the book, review her prediction. Was the prediction right? If not, what happened instead? 3. Plan to go to the school library, public library, or the local bookstore once each week and read a new book together. After reading each book, talk to him about what happened at the beginning, the middle, and the end of the story. 4. Play rhyming games. Say two words that rhyme (e.g. cat, sat) and ask your child to say a word that rhymes with your words. Take turns. Ask your child to say a word and then you respond with a rhyming word. For example, child says "cat", parent says "hat"; child says "chair", parent says "pair".
