A Note to parents
Reading Aloud with Your Child
Research shows that reading books aloud is the single most valuable support parents can provide in helping children learn to read.
- Be a ham! The more enthusiasm you display, the more your child will enjoy the book.
- Run your finger underneath the words as you read to signal that the print carries the story.
- Leave time for examining the illustrations more closely; encourage your chiild to find things in the pictures.
- Invite your youngster to join in whenever there's a repeated phrase in the text.
- Link up events in the book with similar events in your child's life.
- If your child asks a questions, stop and answer it. The book can be a means to learning more about your child's thoughts.
Listening to Your Child Read Aloud
The support of your attention and praise is absolutely crucial to your child's continuing efforts to learn to read.
- If your child is learning to read and asks for a word, give it immediately so that the meaning of the story is not interrupted. DO NOT ask your child to sound out the word.
- On the other hand, if your child initiates the act of sounding out, don't intervene.
- If your child is reading along and makes what is called a miscue, listen for the sense of the miscue, If the word "road" is substituted for the word "street." for instance, no meaning is lost. Don't stop the reading for a correction.
- If the miscue makes no sense (for example, "horse" for "house"), ask your child to reread the sentence because you're not sure you understand what's just been read.
- Above all else, enjoy your child's growing command of print and make sure your give lots of praise. You are your child's first teacher - and the most important one. Praise from you is critial for further risk-taking and learning.

和孩子一起大声读
研究表明和孩子一起大声读是父母帮孩子学习阅读的唯一高效的方式。
1. 投入，你越投入，孩子越享受阅读的乐趣；
2. 指读；
3. 留给孩子充分的时间读图，鼓励孩子读图；
4. 邀请年幼的孩子加入阅读；
5. 把书中的内容跟孩子的实际生活联系起来；
6. 如果孩子有问题，立刻暂停并回答，书可以让你更加了解孩子的想法。
听孩子大声读
你的关注度和鼓励在孩子的阅读之路上至关重要。
1. 如果孩子在学习阅读中问你某个词的含义，请立即告诉他，这样他对故事的理解不会被打断。不要要求孩子读出这个词。
2. 另一方面，如果他试图读这个词，也不要阻止他。
3. 朗读中犯错时，要分辨错误的类型，比如“road”读成"street"，意义接近，那就不要打断他纠正他。
4. 另外一种错误，比如“horse”读成"house"，此时应要求孩子重读此句，因为他可能不理解此句的含义。
5. 最重要的是，欣赏孩子的每一个进步并给予足够的表扬。你是孩子的第一位老师，并且是最重要的一位。你的赞扬是他坚持学习和克服困难的动力。
