With kindergarten students it is important to read with them constantly. One great activity to do with students is echo reading. Echo reading is when you choose a book that is on level with students but not too advanced for the students that may be slower with reading or are not on level quite yet. Read out loud to the students and every sentence have them repeat it back.

Being able to support students regardless of any differences is the main goal for all educators and parents. When school starts everyone comes in without teachers knowledge of how they learn, what works and may not work, what are strengths and weaknesses, etc. But we learn all of the students needs and provide to our best abilities. Supporting them can look like getting fidget chairs, moving them where they need to be, create alternative assignments, providing material that is at their level of understanding, etc. Some of these assignments can be just different pictures, words used in sentences or completely different but still has the same objective. If a child has sight or hearing issues, moving them where it is best is supporting them, if they need a 504 or IEP, we start the process of them with the correct people needed to be involved. The fidgets can be leg bands so the child can move quietly, standing desks, swivel chairs, and much more.

Developing strong reading comprehension skills is crucial to your child's future success. But many children struggle to master these important skills in the classroom. The good news is that there are plenty of ways for parents to help their children improve reading skills outside of the classroom. Here's how parents can help with reading comprehension at home:

Start A Family Book Club

Use Online Reading Comprehension Worksheets

There are a number of websites that allow parents to print reading comprehension worksheets for free. Each worksheet will include a short passage followed by questions about the passage.

Ask your child to complete these worksheets so they can practice their reading comprehension skills at home. The more they practice, the more they will improve their reading comprehension skills.

Create Graphic Organizers

If your child is a visual learner, creating a graphic organizer is a great way to improve their reading comprehension skills .

There are several ways to use graphic organizers to improve your child's reading comprehension skills. For example, create Venn diagrams to compare and contrast characters in a story. Or create a storyboard that shows the sequence of events that took place in the story.

Creating these graphic organizers can help your child understand the relationship between characters and events, the chronological order of events, and other concepts.

Play Audio Books

Some children are auditory learners, so they may benefit from listening to audio books . Instruct your child to follow along with the narrator while you play an audio book. Auditory learners may be able to extract more meaning from the text by listening and following along as opposed to reading independently.

Encourage All Types of Reading

Practice is the key to improving reading comprehension , so encourage your children to practice as much as possible. Don't limit your children to books, either. Encourage them to read anything they may find interesting, which may include comic books, newspapers, and magazines.

Focus On Your Child's Favorite Topics

Studies show that reading multiple books on the same topic can actually help your child improve their reading comprehension skills more than reading multiple books on various topics.

Use this research to your advantage by finding books related to your child's favorite topics. Does your child love baseball? If so, check out a handful of different baseball-themed books from the local library. Is your child interested in the solar system? Find five or six books on the planets.

Discuss the books with your child once you're done reading. Ask your child to compare and contrast the books to check their comprehension and keep them engaged.

Compare Books and Movies
