Even a few minutes of focused practice every day can make a big difference. Here’s how:

Tips for Parents

• Read aloud daily: Builds vocabulary and comprehension.

• Play with sounds: Rhyming, clapping syllables, and breaking words apart.

• Practice decoding: Repeat word patterns until automatic.

• Talk about reading: Ask “why” and “how” questions to deepen understanding.

Tips for Teachers

• Teach systematic phonics.

• Give repeated practice until skills are automatic.

• Support comprehension with discussions and questions.

• Build vocabulary through rich, varied texts.

Final Thoughts: Reading doesn’t come naturally, but every child can learn. With the right guidance, consistent practice, and encouragement, children become confident, fluent readers who enjoy books for life.
