Helping Reluctant Readers
For many kids, reading just doesn’t come easily. Some kids have
difficulty connecting letters and their corresponding sounds. Others
have yet to discover that special enchanting story that grabs the
imagination and shows just how fun reading can be. For all kids, though,
being at ease with letters, their sounds, and words is an important
foundation for learning throughout life.
Here are a few ways to help kids become eager readers:
Read and reread and reread. Many kids reach for the same books
over and over again. That’s OK. Through repetition, kids can master the
text and eventually sail through it with ease and confidence. Each new
reading of the book may also help them understand it just a little
better. And that positive experience may inspire them to give new
books a try.
