Easy Reader Books

A few tips for reading easy reader books at home with your child:

• As your child reads, ask questions about the text (have her make predictions, summarize what has happened, etc.)
• Encourage your child to read easy reader books to a sibling or stuffed animal
• Use index cards and have child copy one of the sentences from the reader onto the cards, one word at a time. Then shuffle the cards, and ask her to rebuild the sentence.
