All About Reading 

  • How can I find the “just right” books for my child?
    Ask your child’s teacher what level she is at, and request a list of appropriate books. 
  • However, when reading at home, educators say that children should read a level or two below the one they read at in school, when they are receiving instruction from the teacher.
  • How can I help my child become a better reader?
    Continue to read to him every day and expose him to the language of books. Have him read to you
  • If he makes a mistake, simply tell him the correct word and let him move on. This increases enjoyment and fluency. To increase comprehension, talk about the story after you’ve read it.
  • What level should my child be reading at in each grade?
    There is a range of levels within each grade. 
  • Your child’s teacher can address your child's current level and the goals she is working on with your child. To see how levels generally correspond to each grade, see our Leveling Resource Guide. With good instruction, your child will steadily become a better reader, even if he is one or two levels behind peers.
