Pleasant Hill Elementary SchoolTitle IThree ways to boostreading comprehensionAs your child gets older, he will beexpected to read and understandmore complex text. He will transitionfrom learning to read to reading to learn.To help your child, encourage him to:1. See the big picture. Before reading an assignment,have your child think about what he will be reading. What is the title of the chapter or assignment?Does it offer any clues about the reading? He shouldlook for other clues, such as subheadings, words inboldface or italics, pictures or graphs.2. Take notes. Most good students take notes on whatthey read. Taking notes while reading will make iteasier for your child to comprehend and remember information. It will also make reading activeand engaging. Your child should write down themost important ideas in the reading assignment.Elementary School X02589272He should also write down any words hedoesn’t know so he can look them up later.3. Make connections. The best way to remembernew information is to relate it to somethingyou have already learned. When your childfinishes a reading assignment, have himanswer questions such as: How is this topicsimilar to something else I have learned?What key ideas did I already know? Whatnew information did I learn? 2018 The Parent Institute , PaperClip Media, Inc. www.parent-institute.comMay be reproduced by Building Readers newsletter subscribers.ReadingExtras

Pleasant Hill Elementary SchoolTitle IReading role modelscan motivate kidsLots of factors have an impact onyour child’s love of reading, butone of them may be closer thanyou realize. It’s an older sibling!Kids who see their older brotheror sister reading for pleasure are more likely to seekout books themselves.It’s not just that book-loving older kids modelgood reading habits. They’re also great resourceswhen it comes to sharing books, suggesting newstories to explore and talking about literature.To expose your child to reading role models: Make reading a family affair. Set aside a weeklyreading time. Snuggle up on the couch, and readtogether. Include older siblings, cousins or friends. Visit the library together. After your younger childchooses his books, let him look in the “big kid”Elementary School X02589272section while his sibling finds a newbook. No older sibling? Explore thepreteen section with your child anyway.Let him see all the bigger kids browsingthe shelves and reading in the aisles. Involve the babysitter. The next timeyour teenage sitter comes over, askhim to bring along a book. Seeing howimportant reading is to the sitter mayinspire your child’s interest in it, too! 2018 The Parent Institute , PaperClip Media, Inc. www.parent-institute.comMay be reproduced by Building Readers newsletter subscribers.ReadingExtras

Pleasant Hill Elementary SchoolTitle IKids are never too oldfor read-aloud time!Reading aloud is a great way to boostyour child’s vocabulary, listening skillsand problem-solving skills. And longafter children have learned how to read,they still benefit from read-aloud time.To keep it fun as your child gets older: Select books you’ll both enjoy. There’s nothing worsethan finding yourself with 100 pages to go in abook you can’t stand. Ask the librarian for titlesof chapter books with plenty of plot twists andinteresting characters. Select some books that are a little too hard for yourchild to read on her own. Exposing her to thesebooks is a great way to increase her vocabulary. Set the stage each day. Ask your child to summarizewhat you read yesterday. Together, imagine whatmight happen next.Elementary School X02589272 Take turns reading. If your child wants toread, you might alternate paragraphs,pages or chapters. Help her sound outwords she doesn’t know. Talk about what you read. Ask your childquestions.
