How to Help A 7 Year Old Struggling With Reading
Every child learns at their own pace, so some children learn to read faster than others. But this doesn’t mean that parents should sit back and wait for their kids to catch up with their peers. If your 7 year old is struggling with reading, it’s important to ensure they are getting the help they need right away. Reading skills are crucial to your child’s academic success, so the sooner they can improve these skills, the better.
What Should A 7 Year Old Be Able to Read?
There are certain reading milestones that your child should reach at every age. Some of the important reading milestones that your child should hit by age 7 include:
- Understand the basic rules of phonics, such as the difference between short and long vowels, the way the sounds of consonants blend together, and how the silent ‘e’ is used at the end of words.
- Self-monitor their comprehension so they can identify when they don’t understand something they are reading.
- Use context clues to extract meaning from the text or figure out what unfamiliar words mean.
- Have a broad sight word vocabulary, which are words that your child recognizes by sight alone.
- Correctly read approximately 60 words per minute.
If your child has not developed these skills, now is the time to help them become the strong reader they were born to be.
What Are the Signs of A Reading Problem?
Parents may not immediately notice that their child is struggling to read. This is because the signs of a reading problem are not always obvious. Here are some of the signs you should look out for:
- Your child’s reading is choppy and uneven rather than smooth.
- Your child recognizes a word by sight on one page but does not recognize the same word by sight on a different page.
- Your child guesses what unfamiliar words are instead of trying to sound them out using their knowledge of letters and sounds.
- Your child does not pay attention to punctuation when reading out loud.
- Your child does not seem to comprehend what they are reading.
- Your child skips over words when reading or reads words in a sentence out of order.
If you spot any of these signs, it’s likely that your child is struggling to read at grade level. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways for parents to help their children overcome reading difficulties.
How Can I Improve My Child’s Reading Level At Home?
Here are some of the many ways that you can help your 7 year old child improve their reading skills at home:
- Buy letter magnets and use them to help your child build different words. This is a great way to help your child improve their sight vocabulary and gain a deeper understanding of how the sounds of consonants blend together to create words.
- Encourage your children to re-read their favorite stories and poems.
Re-reading stories they are familiar with will help them improve their fluency. - Pick the right books. You shouldn’t pressure your child to read books that are above their grade level. They may struggle with books that are too advanced, which can leave them feeling frustrated and hopeless. You should also choose books that interest your child, which will motivate them to keep reading.
- Help your child understand sections of text that they are struggling to read. Point out context clues that they may have missed, grab a dictionary to look up words they aren’t familiar with, and help them sound out difficult words. Make it a team effort!
- Read books out loud together. You may need to slow down a bit to match your child’s pace, but don’t go too slow. Challenge your child to try to keep up with your pace and match your expression.
Practice makes perfect. The more time you can spend helping your child, the faster they will be able to improve their reading skills.

Reading & comprehension: Age 7–8 (Year 3)
By Year 3 (in England) or Primary 4 (in Scotland), your child will hopefully be on the way to becoming a confident, independent reader. Many children who have got to grips with phonics and word-reading will shift their focus onto comprehension.
Your child’s relationship with books will begin to change as they can now read for pleasure – fiction and non-fiction – or to find information they need.
There are plenty of simple and effective ways you can help your child with reading in Year 3/Primary 4.
Listen to your child read
Once your child can decode most words, it’s easy to think that the job of learning to read is done. However, reading as often as possible with your child is still a valuable experience. You will be able to help with any unfamiliar words to expand their vocabulary and talk to them about the book to make sure that they understand. You can talk about what has happened in the book, ponder the motives and feelings of the characters, and predict what might happen next. All this will support their developing comprehension skills.
Seeing words in print is also good for your child’s other English skills too – reading aloud helps them to understand the words, to spell them, and to see how grammar and punctuation are used to make meaning.
Encourage reading for pleasure – and don’t judge!
If your child wants to read for pleasure, that’s brilliant. If it’s age-appropriate, don’t worry too much about what they are reading. Do suggest books that you think will stretch, challenge and widen their reading horizons, but don’t stop them reading what they are drawn to: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, monsters, fairies or football. It’s all reading and it’s all good!
If your child doesn’t want to read on their own, maybe search for short books, graphic novels, information books to flick through or joke books. Find out more about encouraging reluctant readers here.
Keep reading to your child
Once your child can read on their own, it is tempting to leave them to get on with their own reading – but reading a book to them can be just as important as encouraging independent reading.
Reading to your child can help them develop language skills and comprehension. This is because it gives them access to books that they can’t yet read independently, such as longer novels.
It can improve vocabulary, foster empathy and can be another important opportunity to develop comprehension skills as you discuss the events so far.
For books to read with your child, take a look at our free eBook library.
Listen to audiobooks
Listening to audiobooks can be a great use of time spent in the car. It’s also a way to widen reading experiences. You might like to search for stories read by favourite actors.
Don't give up!
When your child reads more challenging books, there might be times when they struggle and want to stop. Help them through these patches by reading a bit with them to get them started or hooked into the next chapter.
Take it in turns to read a page or take on the role of particular characters or the narrator. Inventing different character voices is a great way to hook them in and distract them when they are feeling frustrated.
Talk about books, stories, words and pictures
Talking about books is a really useful habit to get into.
Talk about the characters and what happens in a story, or what specific bit of information was most useful, and ask your child for their opinions too. Let them tell you if (and why) they don’t like a book. Part of growing as a reader is learning that it’s okay not to like books sometimes!
Asking your child open questions that begin with ‘how’ and ‘why’ can help them to think about what they’re reading. Try to get your child to go back to the text and pictures to tell you how they know the answer.
When reading stories, good readers are always thinking ahead to start to work out what might happen next. You can help your child become better at this by asking key questions such as: I wonder if … will happen? Who do you think will…?
Use pictures to discuss stories
Pictures are still a great way for your child to practise their comprehension skills, even as they get older. Many children enjoy graphic novels which need the reader to interpret the pictures as well as the text.
There are also interesting picture books aimed at older readers that can lead to interesting discussions. Look for some interesting ideas here.

Books for the smallest (from 0 to 2 years old)
At this age, the child himself can only literally try the book on the tooth. However, reading aloud to him is very useful. Firstly, this is a form of communication with the baby, and secondly, listening to you, the baby learns to speak.
Poems and songs are especially useful: even very tiny children perceive rhythm well and quickly learn to distinguish intonations. Starting at 6 months old, you can show your baby 2-3 cardboard baby books with simple and realistic illustrations.
How to read?
- In a quiet environment. Remove toys that can distract the child, turn off the computer and TV.
- Declaim expressively and emotionally, pronouncing all sounds carefully. Change the volume and pace of speech - in general, use acting skills.
- Show your child pictures. Child psychologists strongly recommend choosing books with believable illustrations - so the baby will be able to get a true picture of reality.
- While reading poems and nursery rhymes, demonstrate the actions in question. Butt heads for a horned goat, stomp for a clubfoot bear and growl for a tiger.
- As soon as the baby gets tired of the book, stop reading and put it away until the next day.
- Be patient. If your child only likes one quatrain, read it and don't insist on reading the whole book.
What to read?
- Short poems about animals, toys and the world around.
- Poems with onomatopoeia.
- Rhymes, sayings, riddles.
What to buy?
- Sturdy, indestructible and safe toy books that can be chewed on, crushed and even bathed in the bath with pleasure.
- Books with animated illustrations: furry animals, croaking frogs, etc.
- Illustrated books with moving or three-dimensional elements.
- Books with story pictures, even without text. Scroll through them with your child and comment on what is shown in each picture.

Books for children from 2 up to 4 years
Now the child already understands the words that adults say, shows interest in everything around and tries his best to imitate mom and dad.
One fine day, you may find that the baby is very intently "reading" aloud to his plush zoo. In general, it's time to start more serious and meaningful reading!
How to read?
- If you started reading a fairy tale to your baby, and he fell asleep or got distracted, then next time you will have to start from the first page. It is still difficult for such young children to remember and combine different episodes of the same story in their heads.
- Do not be lazy to read the same thing over and over again if your little conservative asks for it. Use children's love of repetition to memorize poems and stories.
- Do not be afraid to take on texts with words unfamiliar to the child. First, most likely, he understands much more than you think. And secondly, the expansion of vocabulary will greatly spur the development of speech.
- Carry a book with you. It will come in handy if you need to entertain your baby in transport or in line.
- Draw your own illustrations for books together, sculpt characters from plasticine. This will allow the baby to develop fine motor skills and increase interest in reading.
What to read?
- Short stories. Let them cover one event or several, but occurring linearly, that is, one after the other.
- Short poems (4-12 lines).
- Poetic riddles.
- Animals and toys are still at the peak of popularity. But now the kid is no longer enough of a cheerful story about “ko” grazing in the meadow - now he needs some kind of relationship, interaction between the characters.
What to buy:
- Books with large and very simple illustrations that match the text.
- Look for books that allow your child to do things on their own, like sticking stickers, coloring pictures.
- Prefer durable and inexpensive titles, the time for reading rare books will come later.

Books for children from 4 to 6 years old
literary "menu" unillustrated books - it develops the imagination. For ages 4 to 6, long stories are suitable, consisting of several chapters, which can be read many evenings in a row.
How to read?
- The child already quite normally perceives the text read without exaggerated recitation. But, of course, you should not deprive the reading of emotions at all - just let the intonation be more natural.
- Children no longer get hung up on one fairy tale as much as they used to, but for better perception it still makes sense to read books several times - it's easier to remember the details.
- Read chapter by chapter if they are small, otherwise divide the text into separate semantic pieces by yourself. Such a "fractional approach" will help arouse in the child the desire to learn to read independently. Stop literally “at the most interesting place”, and then feel free to start doing your own business: if you want to know what will happen next, let him take the book himself.
- Take your child to the children's library. Show and let them look through a variety of publications: miniature books and huge atlases or photo albums.
- If it is still difficult for a child to understand the plot, show him the appropriate cartoon. This will make it easier to perceive what is happening in the book.
What to read?
- Adventure stories, novels and short stories full of exciting events.
- Stories in the spirit of “a lesson for good fellows” are moderately moralizing and by no means boring.
- Encyclopedias for preschoolers and primary school children.
- Educational aids to prepare for school.
- Books related to the events taking place around the child. For example, before the New Year, you can read stories about Santa Claus.
What to buy:
- Books with complex illustrations designed for long study.
- Children's magazines and comics.
- Tales and fairy tales with many characters.

The second naxitrall wore funny boots with cut-off toes to make it easier to wiggle his toes. And the third hero wore a thick muff, from which only the crown and heels stuck out instead of ordinary clothes, familiar to the human eye.
