GRADES FOUR AND BEYOND
Keep building reading skills with your older student. Encouraging them to find books that interest them, reading aloud with them, and modeling how to sound out challenging words can build reading skills and confidence. Remind your child that reading takes practice, and they will gain confidence over time.
Call the Library’s Assistant Youth Services Coordinator at 419.259.5254 if you think your child may need additional support.
Children who are having difficulty with reading rarely “grow out of it,” without explicit and direct reading instruction. Trust your instincts that your child may need help, and reach out to us or your school for support.
