Reading
How Parents Can Help Children Read in English
Simple reading habits that support vocabulary, comprehension and confidence for school-age English learners.
Choose Texts the Child Can Mostly Understand
Reading should stretch the child, but not exhaust them. A useful book or passage has a few new words while still allowing the child to follow the meaning.
Is your child struggling with the same difficulty? Share their grade and main concern to receive a suitable class recommendation.
Request a class recommendationAsk Meaning Questions, Not Only Word Questions
After reading, ask what happened, why it happened and what the child thinks may happen next. This builds comprehension rather than only pronunciation.
Keep New Words in a Small Notebook
A vocabulary notebook with example sentences helps children reuse new words in writing and speaking.
Conclusion
