Whanau Day Reading
Each term Mangonui School invites whanau in to learn about what we are doing in our classrooms. A big thank you to all of the families who joined us during Term One for our Whanau Reading Day. As a follow up to the Whanau Day I would like everyone to have the opportunity to learn about what we are doing in Nga Ringa Awhina. Below are some helpful hints for parents when hearing children read at home.
How Can I Help My Child With Their Reading?
- Discuss the front cover.
- Predict - what could it be about?
- Relate the events to personal experiences wherever possible.
- Look closely at the pictures - facial expressions, unfamiliar objects.
- Match their finger to the words as they read them. It doesn't matter if they are reading from memory or just know the pattern.
- Ask your child to point out the letter sounds...sssss.....ttttt and later basic words such as I, am, went, etc.
- Ask them questions at the end - can they tell you what happened?
- Give them lots of praise and encouragement.
You can also try reading to them or read a page each. Make it as fun as possible. Praise all attempts that your child makes.
