RAZ-Kids
Victories
We are so very proud to partner with our at home learning tool for families , the RAZ kids app . Parents have mentioned how motivating the program is to engage their learner with a read aloud interaction or an independent activity .
If you have not logged on and made it a part of your home routine , please come see a member of management so that we can assist you with this process . This program allows your learner to practice reading / listening skills , builds vocabulary , prolongs attention span , builds confidence in their abilities !
Parents who take an active role in their student ’ s learning , see that victories and self esteem abound .
Some practical fun ways to take action for these benefits in your child , include : 1 . Read a book aloud to your child . 2 . Have your child read a book to you . 3 . Try choral reading ( together .) 4 . Try reading in different voices . 5 . Do a buddy read , taking turns on each page . 6 . For older students – Practice the glossary or words to know . Find words in the text and discuss how they are used . Review the meaning of each word .
Our teachers recommend the following questions for families to discuss a book as they would in their classroom . Your child may even want to play classroom with you !
Before a story , ask who is the author and what is the author ’ s job , illustrator too . Predict what the book will be about based on the cover . During the story , ask what do you think about the story so far ? Who are the characters and what is the problem ? Predict the resolution .
After the story , what did you like about the story or didn ’ t like . Do you remember something from the story that was a new idea that you may want to learn more about ? How would you have done it differently or solved the problem ?
So , families , let ’ s keep reading and building our children ’ s future up !
