Allow your child to sound out and try to decode the word themselves if it is a green word
Tell your children words that can’t be sounded out
Clarify new vocabulary
Question your child about what they have read, get them to find information in the text and challenge them with harder questions (They have to predict or discuss feelings)
Promote reading fluently, using punctuation for pauses and expression
Don’t be afraid to share the reading of a text with your child. They will enjoy you reading to them and you will be modelling how to use expression and fluency.
