Reading Tips for Parents of First Graders

By: Reading Rockets

Give your child lots of opportunities to read aloud. Inspire your young reader to practice every day! The tips below offer some fun ways you can help your child become a happy and confident reader. Try a new tip each week. See what works best for your child.

These tips for parents of first graders are also available to download and print:

Don’t leave home without it

Bring along a book or magazine any time your child has to wait, such as at a doctor's office. Always try to fit in reading!

Once is not enough

Encourage your child to re-read favorite books and poems. Re-reading helps kids read more quickly and accurately.

Dig deeper into the story

Ask your child questions about the story you've just read. Say something like, "Why do you think Clifford did that?"

Take control of the television

It's difficult for reading to compete with TV and video games. Encourage reading as a free-time activity.

Be patient

When your child is trying to sound out an unfamiliar word, give him or her time to do so. Remind to child to look closely at the first letter or letters of the word.

Pick books that are at the right level

Help your child pick books that are not too difficult. The aim is to give your child lots of successful reading experiences.

Play word games

Have your child sound out the word as you change it from mat to fat to sat; from sat to sag to sap; and from sap to sip.

I read to you, you read to me

Take turns reading aloud at bedtime. Kids enjoy this special time with their parents.

Gently correct your young reader

When your child makes a mistake, gently point out the letters he or she overlooked or read incorrectly. Many beginning readers will guess wildly at a word based on its first letter.

Talk, talk, talk!

Talk with your child every day about school and things going on around the house. Sprinkle some interesting words into the conversation, and build on words you've talked about in the past.

Write, write, write!

Ask your child to help you write out the grocery list, a thank you note to Grandma, or to keep a journal of special things that happen at home. When writing, encourage your child to use the letter and sound patterns he is learning at school.

1st Grade Reading Activities For Struggling Readers

First grade is often where your child’s reading foundation is developed thoroughly. This is an essential grade for your child to establish their reading level and progress. However, sometimes children might struggle as they try to advance their reading skills. If you find that your child is struggling with reading, you can help them by trying these 1st grade reading activities for struggling readers.

What reading skills should my 1st grader have?

Your first grader is definitely a full-fledged reader now! They already have many reading skills that they are continuing to improve and also acquiring new reading skills.

By the end of first grade, your child will have learned 150 sight words. They also should be familiar with many one syllable words and high-frequency words.

In first grade, they should be able to understand the basic structure and features of a sentence.

By now, they are also able to talk about what they have been reading and be able to answer content questions. Your child should also be able to understand the differences between fiction and non-fiction books and texts.

If you find that your child is struggling with any of these reading skills, they might need some more practice or intervention to help them get to their appropriate reading level.

How often should my 1st grader be reading? 

When it comes to practicing their reading skills, first graders on average should be reading at least 10 minutes every day.

This might not seem like a lot of time but even just 10 minutes of reading time can help make a massive improvement in their reading skills. Make the 10 minutes a daily habit for your child like brushing their teeth.

Also, while 10 minutes is a good average number for all readers, struggling readers might be overwhelmed with anything more than that.

Some children might be hesitant or resist reading every day at first, but there are ways to make reading fun and an activity they look forward to doing.

How do you make reading fun for struggling readers?

Reading can be difficult for some first graders. It is important to be patient but also encouraging with your struggling reader. Here are some activities to make reading fun for them to get them to read every day:

• Read as a family – Reading as a family not only creates strong bonds, but it also helps to give your child a model for good reading habits. When they see you prioritize reading, they are more likely to value it and prioritize it as well.

You can schedule 10 minutes for everyone to read their own books together or you can choose a book as a family to read aloud.

• Read on TV – Using television as a reading tool might seem counterintuitive, but it is a great way to get your child to read without even knowing it!

When your child is watching television turn on the subtitles so that they can watch and read at the same time. This is a strategy commonly used with students learning a second language to practice both reading and listening skills.

• Visit a library – Get your child excited to read by going on a couple “reading field trips” such as going to a library. You can tour your local library and have your child pick out a few books to take home.
• Visit a museum – Another great “reading field trip” option is to visit a museum. Museums often have a ton of great reading practice opportunities, and you can also prep your child before the visit by reading an article or story about the museum.
• Talk to an author – What better way to get your child about reading a book than by talking to the person that wrote it?

While you might not be able to talk to J.K. Rowling, many children’s books authors have meet ups at local bookstores or you can ask to talk to them virtually through Zoom.

Websites like Cameo also have some authors offering to record personalized videos, so you can have an author create a video just for your child!

• Create reading goals – Reading goals can help your child see the progress they are making and helps to keep them motivated. You can help them visualize and meet these goals by creating a reading goal chart or tracker and display it somewhere they will always see it.
  
• Use a reading app – Technology is your greatest tool to help with your struggling readers. Try using reading apps such as  Readability which acts like a private reading tutor for your child. They can get reading help whenever and wherever they need it!
• Get them to write – Reading and writing are closely related language skills. Often, good readers make good writers, and good writers make good readers.

You can encourage your child to practice their writing and reading skills by making comic books or short stories together then read them as their daily reading material.

First grade is a critical time for young readers to improve their reading skills and build new ones. Using activities and tools such as Readability can make reading fun and interactive for struggling or reluctant readers. Encouraging your child to read every day can help them to become a better reader and actually learn to enjoy reading.

texts to test reading technique - NAUMENOK

It is advisable to test the formation of reading skills 3 times a year: at the beginning of the academic year, at the end of the first half of the year and at the end of the academic year. But sometimes the teacher prefers to check the reading technique at the end of each quarter.

The reading technique test includes not only reading speed, but also reading accuracy, comprehension and expressiveness. I wrote about this in more detail in article 9.0005 "How to test a child's reading technique."

• Special texts are selected to test the reading technique.
• The text should be understandable to the child, but be unfamiliar to him.
• Sentences should be short, without any complicating constructions or signs.
• It is better if the text for checking reading is without illustrations and dialogues so that children do not get distracted while reading.
• Text must be placed on one page.
• While reading the text, you can not interrupt the child, correct mistakes. After completing the reading, you need to return to those words that caused difficulty or were read incorrectly and ask the child to read them again. In the process of reading, a first grader can follow the text with his finger so as not to lose the line.
• To test reading comprehension, you need to ask a few questions about the text.

Reading technique norm in grade 1

1st half year
Reading should be smooth syllabic, conscious and correct, with clear pronunciation of syllables and words.
Reading speed - 25-30 words per minute.

2nd half year
The child reads whole words correctly, consciously. Words with a complex syllabic structure are read syllable by syllable.
Reading speed - 30-40 words per minute.

These texts can be used not only to test the child's reading skills, but also for retelling. How to teach a child to retell can be found in the article “Teaching a child to retell”. nine0003

If the child's reading technique is below the norm, then it is necessary to read a lot (which is very difficult with poor reading quality) and does not always bring results. It is better to use special techniques and exercises, because. The reasons for bad reading can be different.

Slow readers and children who are struggling to improve their reading speed can be helped by using syllabary reading or, much more effectively, by using an integrated approach that includes various professional techniques. nine0003

To do this, I suggest you use the books:

THE BIG BOOK OF SYLLING TABLES is

• a ready-made tool for training reading and speed reading skills;
• 200 syllabic tables of different levels of complexity;
• professional spreadsheet technique.

The most effective methods will allow each table to be used repeatedly several times, increasing the child's interest in reading. nine0003

By working with these syllable tables the child will receive:

• improved reading skills;
• increased reading speed;
• improved diction;
• reading comprehension;
• development of thinking and attention;
• vocabulary expansion;
• increased self-confidence.

The child will stop stumbling over difficult words while reading. The reading process will become natural and painless. nine0003

You can easily print the pages you need. All pages of the book can be used separately.
THE BIG BOOK OF SAYLING CHARTS is suitable for those who are just taking their first steps in reading, and for those who want to significantly improve the quality of reading.

Syllabary charts help children develop speed reading skills. But it often happens that a child gets stuck at a reading speed of 10-20 words per minute. It is important to track this moment in time and start immediately performing the necessary exercises. nine0003

I have created a training that will help you overcome this barrier without much difficulty. It is convenient to use both at home and when working with the whole class. A variety of tasks will not let children get bored, and parents and teachers will not have to select the necessary material for a long time and torment children with an exhausting, incredibly difficult process at this stage - reading.

Download TRAINING "Speed ​​Reading and Speech Development"

Together with the training you will receive a small book as a gift - 20 syllabic tables for practicing reading skills (they do not repeat the tables of a large book). nine0051

The skill of high-quality reading and writing depends on the state of visual perception and attention of the child.
The better the child recognizes visual images, the better he reads and writes more competently.

Working with noisy texts engages the child's brain as much as possible and greatly increases the productivity of classes. At the same time, there is a development of figurative thinking, attention, memory, the ability to understand what is read. nine0006

In the book you will find:

• Noisy texts with questions;
• Texts with questions for reading, retelling, checking reading technique;
• Method of working with noisy texts;
• High productivity options;
• Exercises for developing speech and reading comprehension.

As a result, the child:

• read speed increases;
  
• attention and memory develop;
  
• conscious reading skills are developed;
  
• develop self-control skills;
  
• speech develops;
  
• the number of writing errors decreases;

Suitable for individual and group lessons.
Easy to print and use.

The Noisy Texts book series consists of three parts.

Texts to test reading technique, Grade 1 | Reading card index (Grade 1):

READING TECHNIQUE, GRADE 1

The ability to read is one of the most important skills that contribute to the successful assimilation of knowledge. At the first stage of teaching reading technique, quite a lot of attention is paid. This is not surprising, because it is during this period that the pace of reading is formed.

Reading technique is monitored especially carefully in Grade 1. During this period, reading is the object of assimilation. First graders are tested:

• whether the method of reading by syllables has been formed;
• to what extent there is an understanding of the general meaning of the read text;
• whether the child understands what individual words and sentences mean;
• whether there are pauses between sentences.

Reading requirements

Reading technique may not be checked in the first half of the first grade.

At the end of the second half of the year, the child should have formed a conscious, correct reading. Simple words are read as a whole word. Syllabic reading of polysyllabic words is allowed. nine0003

Norms of reading technique in the first grade

According to the indicative indicators of the Federal State Educational Standard, the reading speed in the 1st grade should be:

• in the 1st half of the year - 25-30 words per minute;
• in the 2nd half of the year - 30-40 words per minute.

Features of the test

In the 1st grade, no grades are given for learning, the student either “handled” or “failed” the task.

To check the reading technique, it is necessary to prepare a text unfamiliar to the child in advance. Sentences in the text should be simple and short. There should be no pictures so that the student is not distracted. It is important to set the child up for fast reading. nine0003

In the process of reading, a first-grader must follow the text with his finger so as not to lose the line. When a child has begun to read, you should not stop him, even if he made a mistake in pronouncing the word or in placing the stress. After reading, you need to ask the child a few questions about the text to check his understanding of the text.

Reading skills and foundations are laid for children in the 1st grade. Therefore, during this period, it is important to pay special attention to the success of the kids in school in order to provide them with timely assistance. nine0003

And the wolf stood behind a bush and said: “It’s not true, the lambs, the sheep is old, her legs can’t walk, she’s so envious. Run alone all over the field." The lambs did just that: they moved away from the herd, and the wolf caught them and ate them.

Kitten.

There was a brother and sister - Vasya and Katya; and they had a cat. In the spring, the cat disappeared. The children looked for her everywhere, but could not find her. Once they were playing near the barn and heard something meowing in thin voices above their heads. Vasya climbed the stairs under the roof of the barn. And Katya stood below and kept asking: “Did you find it? Found?" But Vasya did not answer her.
