How can parents help their child in reading?
Make sure your child reads at least 20 minutes every night from a book at their independent reading level.
After reading, your child should "stop, think, and jot" about what they read. They may also draw a picture. Use a notebook to make a daily reading journal if you have the materials.

Parents, a good way to monitor your child's comprehension or understanding of what they read is to ask questions. Check out the link below! Also, go to the useful links and reading challenge tab to the left of this page for more help.
