Wait Time:
-When your child misreads a word give them some time to fix it on their own. Let them read to the end of the sentence. After a reasonable time, help them.
Ignore:
-You do not need to correct your child every time they misread a word. If your child is still getting the meaning of what they are reading, let small mistakes go.
Chunking Words:
-Encourage your child to look for smaller words and syllables within longer words and blend those parts together. *Take 10 minutes a night and read to your child or have them read to you. After reading, ask them to tell you the beginning, middle, and end of story. Ask them who the characters in the story were. This will help with their comprehension.
