These are a few reading strategies you might like to try:

1.Make Predictions

2.Visualize
Many students think visually. While your child reads you can use shapes, spatial relationships, movements, and colors, to explain a story.

3.Before reading
Think about the title, chapter heads, and visual information. Make note of anything you are curious about.

4.Retell and Summarize

5.Connect the text to life experiences, other texts, or prior knowledge. When you connect a text to students' experiences,maybe a vacation, it helps students personalize the information.

6.Word-Attack
This strategy helps students decode, pronounce, and understand unfamiliar words. Attack the words letter by letter. Eventually, you can attack chunk by chunk.
*Look at the picture.

*Are there people, objects, or actions in the picture that might make sense in the sentence?

*Start with the first letter, and say each letter-sound out loud.

Blend the sounds together and try to say the word. Does the word make sense in the sentence?
