3. Randomly place the pieces of paper on a flat surface. Read each verb

to your child and ask your child to repeat it. Then, point to a word and

ask your child to read it.

4. Read the following sentences to your child. Ask your child to provide an

appropriate verb to complete the sentence.

• I’m bored! Let’s (read) with our friends.

• I need to finish reading this book before I (go) to school tomorrow.

• Reading is so fun! I like to (help) others learn how to read.

• Would you like to (get) a book from the library?

• Will you help me (look) for this book? I do not (see) what I am

looking for.

Fluency: Echo Reading

1. Reread the story to your child at least two more times while your child

tracks the print by running a finger under the words as they are read.

Ask your child to read the words he or she knows with you.

2. Reread the story, stopping after each sentence or page to allow your

child to read (echo) what you have read. Repeat echo reading and let

your child take the lead.

Text Comprehension: Discussion Time

1. Ask your child to retell the sequence of events in the story.

2. To check comprehension, ask your child the following questions:

• Books have words, but what other things can you see in a book?

• Who can you practice reading with?

• If you want more books to read, where can you go to find

more books?

• What is your favorite book to practice reading?
