[quote=Anonymous]Ask her teacher what would be best to do. She may have materials to loan you. Repeated reading of familiar text helps build fluency, so have her read the same story over and over. Ask the teacher for a list of sight words to practice. She can write the words in shaving cream on a table. You can write some of the letters and she can fill in the missing one. Go to Lakeshore Learning and buy a reading game. Have her write two or three sentences at a time and focus on capitalizing the first word and end punctuation, and spelling words correctly that she should know. Don’t worry about hard words not being spelled right. Buy Scrabble Junior. Also, read to her every day and talk about what is happening in the story, what might happen next, how you can tell what kind of person the characters are. Are they kind or selfish and how do you know?[/quote]
