Strategy to read the story

Strategy to read the story

Encourage your child to look at the pictures to help
him/her read new words and understand the story.


Ask your child to point out the beginning and the end of
sentences occasionally to show he/she understands the
punctuation.

If your child has difficulty with a word, read the sentence,
leaving a gap and ask him/her to suggest a word that fits.

Encourage your child to read using an expressive voice.

Ask your child to read the book again, and praise when
he/she notices and pauses at full stop.

Play a game

This game will help your child recognise the rhymes,
which will help them spell independently:

Talk about how two words in the title rhyme.
("fox","socks").

Look at page 2. Ask your child to point to two words
that rhyme.("fox","socks").

Turn to page 4 and find two words that rhyme.("fox","box").

Repeat through the remaining pages.
