Give the gift of reading
to your child this holiday
season. Since reading is
foundational for academic
success, your child’s Y0066_21SPRJ55188_C
reading needs to be on or
above grade level. Here are
three ways you can help
improve your elementary
age child’s reading.
First, trust your instinct and seek understanding. Most
moms (and some dads) instinctively know their child’s
reading is behind. Teachers have good intentions but
repeatedly have a scenario play out when parents come
to me even though the teacher says, “Don’t worry.” We
test and uncover the child has dyslexia. Honestly, smart
kids compensate for weaknesses. Also, it’s a ton of work
for a teacher to refer a child for school-based testing so
some teachers keep pushing kids along without getting
to the root cause. Come in for testing to give yourself
understanding, peace of mind, and direction. If you are on
the fence about testing, first read Overcoming Dyslexia,
second edition by Dr. Sally Shaywitz.
Next, you can teach your child using a specialized • Screen Doors & Window Screens
reading approach. The Barton Reading and Spelling • Hardware Repacement
System was designed for parents and educators to use • Impact/Non-Impact Glass
one-to-one with children. Learn more at BartonReading. • Custom Frameless Showers
com. If you prefer, hire a specialized reading tutor to teach
your child since many kids work better with someone
other than a parent. I have a list of professional reading
tutors at JimForgan.com/tutor.
Third, provide a fun way to read. With your younger 561-404-1355
child, build a pillow fort and read inside the fort. Create
a “secret” reading space, tree house, or unique area for
reading. Regardless of age, read to your child. As you Buy 1 & Get The 2nd
read aloud, periodically stop and discuss what each $
person is picturing in their mind. This develops reading 50 OFF
comprehension. Older kids might like to listen and read
along using Audible. Bear Industry Screen
We offer dyslexia, learning disability, and ADHD/
ADD testing. Learn more at JimForgan.com or call 1/12/22. 1/12/22. 1/12/22. 1/12/22.
