Home Readers
Helping with Home Reading
A home reader is a book or reading material that early learners take home from school to read with their parents or guardians.
Purpose:
-
Builds reading fluency and comprehension
-
Reinforces phonics and vocabulary taught in class
-
Encourages reading as a shared activity between child and parent
-
Develops reading habits and confidence
Remember, home readers are not for testing — they’re for practice. The goal is confidence and fluency, not perfection
Before Reading
– Talk about the cover, title and the pictures
– Encourage the student to guess what the book may be about
During Reading
– Discuss the story so far
– Encourage the student to guess white might happen next
– Ask him/her questions about the story and the characters
After Reading
– Talk about the story
– Ask questions about the story and the pictures
– Relate any relevant aspect of the story to the child’s experiences
