From the kindergartener who might not know letters…

…to the high schooler who has trouble with comprehension or even decoding,

this is a website of help and general knowledge for teaching your children to read better.

Isn’t it hard to witness students struggle with books and other text? The last thing you want is a discouraged student who says, “I hate reading!” You want to help them, but you might not know some of those best practices.

If you are a teacher, chances are you feel the pressure of all those standardized tests and meeting AYP. You may be looking for information on strategies, programs, guided reading lesson plans, activities, or more.

If you are a parent or you home school your children, you may be looking for some activities that will help your children read better. Perhaps you have a preschooler and you simply want to seize the moments of these precious years. Or you have that reluctant middle school child who hates reading.

Here at Reading-Strategies-Help I want to be your “personal” resource teacher, especially if you or your school lacks such a person! I am passing on some of my knowledge as a reading specialist to you.

My aim is to give you appropriate information for your particular reading strategy needs. I hope that you can use some of the strategies in this website for you and your particular children.

You will find

•Information on the basics of reading, for those of you who want to know more!

•Comprehension strategies from early to late grade levels

•Games and activities

•Preschool and early learning activities

•Intervention information, including some opinions on particular programs

•Graphic organizers that help aid comprehension

•Teaching tips for younger and older students

•I also refer to other resources which might be of help to you.

Like you, I am continually learning and gathering resources. Your needs change and so will the content this website. Please continue on and explore the reading strategies to help you and your children...
