PHONICS AND COMPREHENSION
Reading is an exciting time in the early school years. Your child will continue to decode words while they work toward fluency. Fluency is reading smoothly. They will also be building their vocabulary and working to comprehend the sentences they read.
Reading is not a natural skill, it must be taught.
Children who are having difficulty with early reading rarely “grow out of it,” without explicit and direct reading instruction. Trust your instincts that your child may need help, and reach out for support.
The Library’s Ready to Read team can help you learn research-based reading techniques so you can support your child become a strong reader. To schedule a free individual or group training session, please complete this easy form or call 419.259.5253.
