Div 2 and Div 4 Reading Buddies enjoying some time outdoors reading. Be a Good Reading Role Model The most effective way children learn is by watching parents and adults in their lives. Modeling the behavior that you want teaches manners and respect, but it can also teach reading and writing. Children need to see you reading for a number of purposes: enjoyment, recipes, directions, and to answer questions. The same is true for writing. Be sure to talk about what you are doing, Say “Let’s read the directions to figure out how this works.” “I think that I will write this down, so that I don’t forget how to do it.” Seeing adults who are important to them read and write speaks much louder than words that reading is valued. Who Should Read - Parents or Kids? The answer to that questions is both! When children learn to read by themselves it is easy to drop the read aloud habit. The reality is that until at least middle school, reading aloud is important. That’s when their reading level begins to match vocabulary - but too many families have stopped reading aloud by this time. When you read aloud you can read books at a child’s listening level which is higher than their reading level. You model what good reading sounds like and expand a child’s vocabulary. It gives you a chance to talk about more complicated stories and ideas. You can read about things that your child may not choose to read on his or her own. When reading aloud together, you also give your child the attention from you that is so important. Haiku’s written by Div.4 Inspired by: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Sadako was sick.
