In  Grades K–2

• Talk with your child a lot.
• Read different types of books. Read every day, and talk with your child about the story.
• Help your child learn sound patterns of words. You can play rhyming games and point out letters as you read.
• Have your child retell stories and talk about his/her day.
• Talk with your child about what you do during the day. Give her/him directions to follow.
• Talk about how things are the same and different.
• Give your child chances to write.

In  Grades 3-5

• Keep your child reading. Find books and magazines that interest your child.
• Ask your child what he/she thinks about what he/she hears or reads. Connect what he/she reads to events in his/her life.
• Help your child connect what he/she reads and hears at school, home, and other events.
• Talk out loud as you help your child read about and solve problems.
