Mrs Orchard’s Favourite Saying
The More You Read
The Better You Get!
In Reading Recovery one of the keys to success is the support student’s get to practise. Parents are so important in this process. By reading the chosen book at home they are reinforcing the strategies learned that day. It might be checking, rereading, matching, looking closely at the endings in the word etc. By the time they have also read to grandma, big brother and the reading parents at school the book is sounding much better. The teacher then helps the student with pace, fluency, phrasing, intonation, using punctuation and a whole set of other skills. So thank you kids, thank you family…your reading is the magic that makes the reading improve.
The more you read the better you get. The better you get the more you read!
