An Activity for Reading
By: CCTV Department of Education
This activity is developed by reading experts for you to use with children. Doing the activity with your children helps you develop their reading skills while having fun at the same time. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are succeeding!
We wish you spend wonderful hours of reading with children! This summer holiday, we will invite some families to the program "Readers" to read aloud poems or books you like, and share your reading experience.
Activity: Read to me
It's important to read to your child, but equally important to listen to them to read to you.
What you will need: Books at your child's reading level!
What to do:
▲Read good books to your child. Parents who read aloud to their children are developing their interests and skills in reading. Encourage your children to listen, express their ideas, and ask questions.
▲Take turns. You read a paragraph and let your child read the next one. If your child becomes easier with reading aloud, you can ask him or her to read a full passage.
▲Listen carefully as your child reads. Listening to your child will encourage them to practice reading. Besides, this is another way to enjoy reading together.
▲If your child has trouble reading words, you can help him or her in some ways.
●Ask the child to jump over the word and read the rest, then try to guess the meaning of the missing word.
●Guide your child to use what he or she knows about letter sounds.
●Tell your child that you are proud of his or her hard working.
