When it comes to reading, if your child is having difficulty, it's tough going. I recently found this website with some good suggestions for supporting your child.  Here are some insights from the site.

Reading Rockets

Children will usually express their frustration and difficulties in a general way, with statements like "I hate reading!" or "This is stupid!". But if they could, this is how kids might describe how fluency difficulties in particular affect their reading:

• I just seem to get stuck when I try to read a lot of the words in this chapter.
• It takes me so long to read something.
• Reading through this book takes so much of my energy, I can't even think about what it means.

I like the way this site explores the process from different perspectives and gives parents some concrete ideas on how to help.  Keep up the great work you are doing to support your child's reading.

Many blessings
