Even as adults, sometimes we encounter words, sentences, or even entire books that we struggle to understand. Share some of the strategies you use in your own reading practices with your child. These strategies might include re-reading, using context clues, or using background knowledge—whatever tools you use!

Doing this will not only provide your child with more tools in their literacy tool belt, but it will also assure them that sometimes everyone struggles with reading. It’s reassuring to hear that you can always keep learning and getting better, no matter how experienced you are as a reader.
