This is your HomeSchool Facilitator coming in with a hot tip for readers that are fluent and now moving in to reading independently.

When your child is developmentally ready and reading to comprehend this is when you set aside some extra patience to sit connect and listen.

A lot of the times in the busy world of parents we also want to get things done. I was reminded a couple times this week including in my own home. My son who is finally naturally starting to comprehend what he is reading started babbling on about a football play triggered by his book he was reading and my wonderful husband said okay Hayes. Just read. Not his fault, he doesnt know that these connections are whats helping Hayes comprehend the book.

There is a reading comprehension issue in elementary and part of it, amongst a knowledge gap is rushing through books.

Authors have a purpose to writing: to persuade, inform or entertain. When your child is reading and something they read triggers a connection let them share their story, if something prompts inquiry, let them question, if they are predicting whats gonna happen next, let them infer, if they stop and connect pictures to the words let them. Quality verse quanitity. If you dont finish the book put a bookmark in it and save it for the next day.

Set a timer and once it’s up you are done but let that time be focused on understanding and not finishing. Happy Summer reading!
