Reading Roundup

We are the Spud Time Literacy Teachers: Meet Stephanie McNab, Katy Miller and Tori Ridlon. We will be working with students in Kindergarten through Grade 4. Ms. Miller will also work with math groups.

Give your child lots of opportunities to read aloud. Inspire your young reader to practice every day! The tips below offer some fun ways you can help your child become a happy and confident reader. Try a new tip each week. See what works best for your child.

  • Don't leave home without it. Bring along a book or magazine any time your child has to wait, such as at a doctor's office. Always try to fit in reading! 

  • Once is not enough. Encourage your child to re-read favorite books and poems. Re-reading helps kids read more quickly and accurately.

  • Dig deeper into the story. Ask your child questions about the story you've just read. Say something like, "Why do you think Clifford did that?" 

  • Pick books that are at the right level. Help your child pick books that are not too difficult. The aim is to give your child lots of successful reading experiences.
