Reading Strategies

The term "Reading Strategies" is educator-speak for different methods that can help a child learn to read or learn to read better. They can include anything from filling in blanks on a worksheet to reading a story aloud.



However, if your child does not have a good grasp of the basics of reading these learning strategies can only do so much. For more information on phonics blends and teaching phonics check out the Reading For Kids (and Adults!) beginning phonics reading program to help you help your child.

Since all children learn differently it is important to be aware of various strategies to help improve reading skills. Strategies for reading are basically different ways that a student can interact with text to gain meaning (comprehension). These can more simply be called activities with a purpose. What works best with one child may not work with the next. It all depends on their learning style.

Strategies for reading are divided up into three categories: pre-reading, during reading and post-reading strategies.

Pre-reading strategies are designed to be used before the text is read. During-reading strategies are to be used during the reading and post-reading strategies are for after reading.

Even the best strategies will not help if your child is struggling with a vision or hearing problem. A good site for more information on these and other problems, as well as interventions to go with them, can be found at Joy-of-Reading.com.

If your child is struggling to read due to a learning disability such as dyslexia or apraxia please visit ApraxiaSpeaks.com for more information.

Especially if you are like I was when I started and know next to nothing about website building? If so, you might want to look into what SBI has to offer.

SBI, for a minimal charge offers an amazing amount of tools and resources along with step by step instructions. They provide everything you need. All you need to bring to the table is an idea or a topic that you are very interested in. And what if you don’t even have that? Then they will help lead you through that decision making aspect as well.
