Learning to read is difficult — so we are making it easier with a series of fun activities that you can do with your child for reading practice.
With each activity your reader will practice core reading skills such as inferencing, prediction, main idea, description, etc. AND you and your learner will be having a great time!
Let’s turn reading into fun!
Find a paragraph in an appropriate book that describes a character. Read the paragraph aloud and ask your reader to draw a picture about what they heard. Read it again to see if they can add more to their drawing. Stop when you feel they have included the majority of the details in the drawing.
It will be important to select a paragraph that describes the character clearly for this activity.
Congratulate your child on an excellent job!
Side note: what do we mean by ‘an appropriate book’? If you are reading to your child an appropriate book is one that captures their interest and your child can understand the majority of the words. If your child is reading, an appropriate book is one that captures their interest and your child can read the words smoothly with only the occasional question about meaning or pronunciation.
