When I created this blog, I designed it to use as a resource for parents and educators. It only consisted of tips for helping children at home with literacy-related activities. Many parents have asked me what they can do to help their child(ren) at home with their reading. I, along with some ideas from fellow educators, have come up with many ways and resources for just that. For the educators, I have added tips and resources for those teachers who struggle with coming up with ideas to share with parents. But as time went on, it has evolved into my personal thoughts on more than just reading...

What do I do when a MISCUE happens?


When your child comes to a word that he/she misreads, remind him/her to slow down and try again.  Help him/her to stretch out the word to check for sounds of the letters or chunks that they already know.  Once the child has mastered the word, make a note card with the word on it to practice for later use.  Practicing difficult words can add to your child’s memory base for better reading in the future.  Also, when practicing reading, be sure to correct mistakes as they happen; not later on when the child has forgotten the meaning of the word.
