It is really important that you read with you child every day for at least 20 minutes. This could be in a variety of different ways. Some children might find reading tricky so it is important to make it a positive and fun experience for your child.

 

1. Let your child use their phonics knowledge.

 

You might want to go through the sounds on their sound mats before you start reading and have them available.

Ask the children sound out each of the words and then blend to read them.

Eg: 

 

2.Ask children questions about the book 

 

It can be a lot for your child to read in one go and they might be forgetting what they are reading. Just by asking your child questions about what they are reading will tell you if they know what they are reading.
