Do you remember starting to read in kindergarten? Nope, me neither...and I'm sure my mom did not come from kindergarten round-up with a list of "site" words. We also received in our packets some info from the National Institute for Literacy with some tips on encouraging your new reader to read.
Help them understand what they're reading with questions like:
"tell me about the story"
"who did what? why?"
"how did it end"
"what did you think of the book"
"is this story real or made up?'
Get them excited about reading.
Take turns reading their favorite book.
Let your children see you reading.
Go to the library together.
Let them write notes to grandma or cousins & send them in the mail.
