ROLE OF PARENTS IN READING AT HOME MARIA PIA Q. DAYRIT

Parents' follow-up in reading at home is a crucial component in supporting their child's reading development in the primary grades. Establish a daily schedule in which you set aside a certain amount of time to read. This can happen after school or before bed. Frequent reading practice improves comprehension and fluency. Provide a selection of books that are appropriate for your child's reading level and interests. Picture books, chapter books, periodicals, newspapers, and even digital media might be included in this category. A wide range of resources promotes leisure reading.

In addition, you can read aloud to your children in turns. This offers a chance for comprehension and discussion in addition to modeling fluent reading. To get your child to think more deeply about the narrative, characters, or events, pose questions. At home, set aside a peaceful, cozy area for reading. This can be a unique cushion or a reading nook where your youngster can unwind and concentrate. Try your best to avoid distractions during reading time, such as loud noises or television. Give your children some alone time to read. Let them read at their own speed and select novels that pique their interest. This encourages a passion for reading and self-reliance in their education.

Maintain open communication with your children's teacher about their reading progress and ask for specific recommendations or strategies to support them at home. Collaboration between parents and teachers is vital in ensuring reading success.

By actively participating in their children's reading journey at home, parents can significantly contribute to their literacy development and help them become proficient readers.
