Tips: Motivating and Encouraging Readers

1. "Read me a story!" (Read together) 2. Beyond books (magazines and comic books) 3. Keep it fun, for everyone (games / act it out) 4. "Look at what I did!" (visible record) 5. "I want that one!" (Choice is key!) 6. Something to talk about (keep the discussion going) 7. Hey, kids! What time is it? (Family reading time)

Recognizing the difference between an emotionally turned-off reader and a child with a learning problem

Go to the library and ask the librarian for books that would be appropriate for your child's age. Can your child read that material? Can they understand it and discuss it with you? Does your child show symptoms that something's wrong? If kids complain of stomachaches, don't like going to school, or don't like reading anything, then they're probably struggling. If they reverse b's and d's when they copy letters, that could be an indication of a visual problem, especially if it persists through the end of first grade.

How can families encourage kids to read at home when they're struggling with reading in school?

Try to make it relaxing and low-key for a short part of the day.
Share something of your own.
Read aloud some funny or interesting parts of a book that you're reading.
Draw your child in with a riddle book for kids, a passage from Sports

Illustrated, or a newspaper story.

Show your own enjoyment with it.
Make it real short and real light.
You don't want to be heavy-handed about it, especially if your child is being

turned off at school.

If your kid likes a movie, get the book from the library!

SLIDE 9

How can families encourage kids to read at home when they're struggling with reading in school?

For kids who have lost the motivation to read, the way

back is through material that's intensely interesting to

them. The likelihood is that your child may almost have

to disassociate what he's doing at school with the act of reading something for fun.

SLIDE 10

What should parents NOT do when they're reading with their kids?

If a child is struggling to read aloud, DO NOT force her/him to continue struggling.

Read the book aloud to your child first, then read it

together.

Reading is supposed to feel good to the child. When it

does, they'll become readers.

We all repeat things that are pleasurable.

SLIDE 11

Please, please please . . . Never make reading a punishment! Reading should be enjoyable and encouraged! What should parents NOT do when they're reading with their kids?

SLIDE 12

Encouragement for parents of struggling readers

Try your best to be hopeful.
Try not to show your children your own anxieties.
If your kids are struggling, there are strategies that you

can use to help.

Work with your child's teacher to address reading issues.
