Reading at home — simple routines
Read together daily for 10–15 minutes using decodable texts and short questions.
Make reading warm and conversational, not a quiz.
Step-by-step
- Choose a short decodable book or paragraph.
- Read aloud together; pause to discuss two quick questions.
- Celebrate one thing they did well.
Common mistakes
- Stopping at every word — instead, prompt and keep flow.
- Using long texts that tire younger readers quickly.
