                                                                   Reading Strategies



Some of the following suggestions and strategies may help children who are experiencing problems with decoding, comprehension, or reading retention. Many of those listed are accommodations that work around a child’s differences by offering alternative approaches at home and at school. Look for those that you think might work best and, when applicable, talk to your child’s teacher about using some of them in class.

•Play word games.

Word games and puzzles are fun and also build vocabulary and word understanding. Try crossword puzzles, word bingo, Scrabble®, or Boggle®.

•Read aloud every day.

Encourage children to read directions, labels, and signs in the classroom, at home, in the car, and at stores or shops, and have them take turns reading aloud with a classmate, parent, or sibling. Discuss in class or at home what you are reading.

•Model reading as an enjoyable activity.

You might informally discuss what you are reading with your child or let him or her see family members or teachers enjoying reading. Have DEAR time several times a week where everyone “Drops Everything And Reads” for 20 minutes.

•Put learning to use.

Help children remember by having them explain, discuss, or apply information they have just read, letting them “teach” you facts or ideas they have learned from their reading, or encouraging them to act out characters from their reading selections.

•Listen to books.

Your child may benefit from listening to his or her textbooks and trade books on tape or by using assistive technologies like screen readers.

•Read to your child every night.

Read novels above his or her reading level to stimulate and enrich language, creativity, and interest. Ask structured questions and encourage your child to predict multiple endings to each chapter.

•Engage children’s senses while learning.

Children with learning disabilities learn best when they use many of their senses to get information. Multi-sensory instruction allows the child to see, hear, touch, and act out words. For example, to learn letters children may read the printed letter, say the letter name, shape the letter out of clay, trace the letter onto paper, and form their bodies into the shape of the letter.

Reading for pleasure to support the engagement and motivation of learners

Reading for pleasure means any reading that is primarily for enjoyment. It encompasses a wide range of genres and publications, and includes both fiction and non-fiction.

When your Parents fight

When your Parents fight It's normal for parents to disagree and argue from time to time. Parents might disagree about money, home chores, or how to spend time. They might disagree about big things — like important decisions they need to make for the family. They might even disagree about little things that don't seem important at all — like what's for dinner or what time someone gets home. Sometimes parents can disagree with each other and still manage to talk about it in a calm way, where both people get a chance to listen and to talk. But many times when parents disagree, they argue. An argument is a fight using words. Most kids worry when their parents argue. Loud voices and angry words parents might use can make kids feel  scared ,  sad , or upset. Even arguments that use silence — like when parents act angry and don't talk to each other at all — can be upsetting for kids. If the argument has anything to do with the kids, kids might think they have caused...

Emotional Intelligence Is the Missing Piece Septiembre 11, 2017. Social and emotional learning can help students successfully resolve conflict, communicate clearly, solve problems, and much more. Emotional Intelligence: An Overview Whether it's in the boardroom or the classroom, individuals need the skills to communicate, work in teams, and let go of the personal and family issues that get in the way of working and learning.
