Welcome, parents and guardians. As the reading teachers at Terry Taylor Elementary School, we have found that teaching your children is an amazing job and a continually satisfying personal experience. We are dedicated to helping our students fully realize their potential and develop a lifelong love for reading. Working together, we can achieve this goal!
Here are a few ways you can help at home:
-Read every day with your child, and share each page.
-Make it a fun experience.
-Select books on subjects of interest to him/her.
-Read both fiction and non-fiction materials. This can include books, magazines, comics, sports cards, recipes, directions, etc.
-Choose books that you enjoyed as a child.
-Ask questions pertinent to the story.
-Ask your child to predict what he/she expects will happen (first, next, last) in the story.
-End by asking your child to summarize the story.
-There is a connection between reading and writing. So include writing in a journal.
-Visit the library
Together we can provide an appropriate learning environment and achieve success in enhancing the reading capabilities of your children.
