Overcoming Reading Struggles Through Home Literacy

Children face many difficulties when it comes to reading. These reading struggles have a lot to do with the environment that they are offered for learning. 

Parents need to understand that a lot can be done to ensure that they overcome reading struggles by providing a home literacy environment. It is crucial to implement the right reading interventions so that your child can do better when it comes to reading at home. 

Emphasizing On Value 

The first thing that you must do as a parent is to ensure that you’re placing a high value on literacy. This is the first step that you need to do when improving their reading process. You don’t want to be the one who only preaches but doesn’t practice the thing themselves. 

When your child sees you reading a book or the newspaper, they will ideally want to do the same. If you do not do that, how do you expect your child to know the importance of reading? Create an environment for them by emphasizing the value of literacy yourself. 

Focus On Achievement

You want to ensure that you express your expectations to your child. When you offer them the correct instructions along with the expectations you have from them, they are bound to work for them. 

When you feel like your child is interested in a particular subject, try to give them more material. Focus on the achievement you wish for them, and see them work towards it. 

Incorporating Reading Material

You want to make sure that you offer your child suitable reading material to help them do better. Create an environment where the child has easy access to books that are relevant for their age. Digital tools prove to be quite an effective way of doing this. 

These can also improve their learning outcomes as they are more inclined to want to read using these. Don’t deny your child any means of reading material. 

Reading With Your Child

One of the best things that you can do as a parent is read with your child. You want to make sure that they understand the importance of reading while also getting your attention. Make sure that you take out time for your child so that they can learn better.

 It is important to note that children look up to their parents when it comes to these things. So, the more time you spend reading with them, the better they will learn. 

Concluding Thoughts

You can make use of apps to make students love reading. This way, you will be engaging them with something that they would want to read. 

Spend time with them and start working on their literacy from home. This is going to make all the difference in their reading outcomes.

About Us

The Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America. What we envisage may not be the most straightforward or the most conventional ideas. We call for a relatively radical and certainly quite comprehensive reorganization of America’s P-20 system.

That reorganization, though, and the underlying effort, will have much to do with reviving the American education system, and reviving a national love of learning.  The Edvocate plans to be one of key architects of this revival, as it continues to advocate for education reform, equity, and innovation.
