Pause Prompt Praise

Posted on October 16, 2019

Reading with your child is a wonderful way to develop their literacy skills but I didn’t know as a parent that I was doing it wrong until I read this method of paired reading.

Turns out I was trying too hard and jumping in too early to help my child, which didn’t help him learn how to decode as much as it helped him learn if I wait long enough, adults will read for me!

Have a look at the method suggested here. 91×ÔÅÄ Primary teacher Ginny Bell has been teaching reading to children for many years and recommends 91×ÔÅÄ parents follow the steps of Pause, Prompt, Praise to support young readers. Happy reading!
