Make Your Child

A Better Reader

By Jim Forgan, Ph.D.,
School Psychologist
Every child needs to learn
how to read but one in five
Linda and Jessica Gehring, Patience Wilcox, Rebecca Perry Kurt Gehring, Geraldine, Jessica Gehring children have dyslexia so
it is no surprise that many
kids have problems learning
Experience Dentistry with a Woman’s Touch to read. Warning signs of
dyslexia include having a
family member diagnosed or
Cosmetic & Comprehensive Restorative Dentistry suspected to have dyslexia,
slow reading aloud, difficulty
sounding out unfamiliar words, and weak everyday spelling.
State of the Art & Same Day Restorations Here are three ways you can help make your child a better
reader.
Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Sedation Available First, make reading enjoyable and capitalize on your child’s
interests since when we are interested in a topic it holds our
Joanne Green, D.D.S. attention and intrinsically motivates us. Children who struggle
with reading need adults to read to and with them well into middle

10887 N. Military Trail, Suite 6 school. While typical readers prefer to read by themselves starting
in about fourth grade, struggling readers continue to need you to
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 be the guide by their side. Many children enjoy reading graphic
novels such as I Survived or The Baby-Sitters Club.

struggle. It is alright to say, “I know reading is harder for you but

Hospital of the University of Penn - General Practice Residency Training practice, the better you’ll become.” Teach your child to have grit
Harvard Dental School - Former Instructor which is the ability to start and stick with a task until it’s finished.
Boston Brigham and Women’s Dental Group - Staff Dentist Notice your child having grit in a preferred task and then link it
back to the harder task. You might say, “You really stuck with
that project and put in a lot of effort to finish it. You can have
that same kind of grit when it comes to reading or anything you
Age is Just a Number... set your mind to accomplish.”
Third, if your child and you butt heads during academic
work time, hire a well-qualified reading tutor. It takes at least
Like a Bank Account Number. twice a week tutoring to make a substantial difference in your
child’s reading ability. I have a list of specialized reading tutors

in Palm City.
