4. 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
