Read it Again: Idea #112

Kids love to listen to books over and over again. That is how they first learn how to read. They see the words read to them. They see how letters form words. They see how a sentence goes across a page. They see how words have meaning. They see the pictures telling a story. 

Reading stories over and over again can help your student see words and almost memorize them. It also helps with comprehension, without them even realizing it. It gives them a chance to eventually read a book that is above their reading level because they are so familiar with it. It is an excellent way to build confidence. Try it with your child. They'll love you for it.
