Many times parents ask what they can do to help their child to read better. One thing that could help at the beginning of the year is to make sure that your child knows the first 220 Dolch sight words. Have your child read each word to you. If they can't read it in 3 seconds, make a flash card for it. Make some games with the flash cards so that your child will learn the words. You can write phrases that include the word and have your child read those. For example you might make phrases such as "after dinner," and "all around the house." These are the most used words in writing so your child will see these words over and over again. If they know them instantly, it will help their reading.
