2. When you are finished reading point out how to spell and sound out words and patterns.
3. Stop often while reading and ask your child to retell you what they read in their own words.
4. You can also ask your child to predict what will happen next.
5. Pause and ask questions to check for understanding.
6. If your child misses a word pause and help him or her through sounding it out.
