Reading Help
By Anne

Get hold of a Reading Recovery trained teacher as soon as you can. He/she will do an observation survey to check where the children are at, so you will know what you need to teach them how to do next.
Some children require
a lot more instruction, particularly those children who are not read to at home.
The books you are giving the children must be too hard, so go right back to the simplest books you have. Reading Recovery Level one. Read the books to the children first and then have them point to the words as they read. If they have one to one correspondence with the spoken and written word at the

easiest level, then they are ready to start looking at initial letters of words to help them to check and monitor their reading. Allow them to keep reading the same books over and over and praise their success. Most of all let them develop at their own rate. Not all children progress at the same rate, so we should ensure that we are providing books which are suited to chns ind. levels at all times.
