How parents can help children with reading skills
Making sure that your children read well can help them perform better in school and increase their confidence in their ability to communicate well. The following ways can be very helpful.
Have your children read to you.
Have your children choose their favorite book and sit down to read with you each evening. It doesn't matter whether that starts after dinner or around the time your children go to sleep.
Stock (储备) your house with reading materials.
It is reported that children who have different kinds of books and magazines to choose from at home actually score higher on standardized tests.

Pay attention to reading problems.
See how well your children can sound out words, understand what they have read and use reading context (上下文) to understand the meaning of new words. For example, you can take them to reading learning centers.
Use other reading tools.
Take games as an example, try to use them as much as you can, since they can make children look forward to and enjoy the process (过程) of improving their reading ability.
