Putting a few simple strategies into action will make a significant difference in helping children develop into good readers and writers. Through reading aloud, providing print materials, and promoting positive attitudes about reading and writing, you can have a powerful impact on children's literacy and learning. Invite your child to read with you every day. When reading a book where the print is large, point word by word as you read. This will help the child learn that reading goes from left to right and understand that the word he or she says is the word he or she sees. Read a child's favorite book over and over again. Read many stories with rhyming words and lines that repeat. Invite the child to join in on these parts. Point, word by word, as he or she reads along with you. Discuss new words. For example, "This big house is called a palace. Who do you think lives in a palace?" Stop and ask about the pictures and about what is happening in the story. Read from a variety of children's books, including fairy tales, song books, poems, and information books. Reading well is at the heart of all learning. Ch Help make a difference for a child. Tips for reading to children in grades four through six Take turns reading a book with your child Ask your child to compare a book to another familiar book. How are the characters alike or different? Do the stories take place in similar settings? How are the illustrations the same or different? Ask what part of the story or book your child liked best or why? Ask if your child likes the ending of the story. Why or why not? Ask your child what type of mood the story or chapter in a book creates. Ask how the author creates the mood. For example, does he or she use different words, events, or settings that create a particular feeling? If your child has read more than one book by the same author, ask how the books are similar or different.
