Ā
Encourage your child to read each booklet several times. Remember, repeated reading helps buildĀ reading fluency.Ā Keep in mind, however, that the goal is to teach your child to actually decode or READ the sentences, not memorize them. So if you feel your child is memorizing the sentences due to repeated reading, it's time to move on to another booklet - but come back to this one again later for review.
Ā
These booklets make excellentĀ first readersĀ once a childĀ canĀ sound outĀ the alphabet. So to develop an interest in reading, print the booklets and leave them around the house so your child can read them independently as well.
