Why Parents are so confused about what Approach to take with Reading

There is no shortage of information and advice for parents about the importance of children leaning to read. Actually, that’s one of the main problems. The media is full of stories about falling standards in reading, how rising numbers of pupils are leaving school without even basic reading skills. Then, there is the question of which methods should you use to support your children?

The acquisition of reading is an area of most concern to parents, particularly in the early years. It is often the first subject that schools ask parents to support their child with at home. And sometimes children are sent home with their first book without any help or advice for parents about how they should do this.

This can lead to highly anxious parents, wanting to do the right thing but not sure how.


Parents are always asking questions like, when should I start reading to my child? How can I help my child when they first start to read a book? What types of books are best for my child ? Should I correct my child every time they read a word incorrectly? My child struggles to read a whole page, and then loses interest. What can I do? Helping Your Child to Read answers all of those questions and more

 

Why Choose my Book?

• I have years of experience of working with parents and listening to their concerns about  their child's reading. I have already successfully written booklets and provided workshops to help parents understand how their child learns to read and how they can help them, therefore, I know that parents want a book that is practical, easy to read and jargon-free.
