How to Help Your Child Become a Better Reader Your child’s Lexile level determines whether they are “promoted” to the next grade level. Have them read 30 minutes – 1 hour every night In English or first language Anything that interests them Read in front of them too Children read more if their parents do as well Have them write about what they have read in a short journal This will improve reading and writing by giving them a task
