Mom and Dad:Reading out loud to your children is a critical step in teaching your child to read, but it has a wonderful hidden benefit as well. When you take the time to read to your children you are taking time with them, with no distractions, no cell phone, no computer, no TV. You are showing them that they are an important priority for you. They will love that special time with you, no matter their age. If you aren't a great reader, it's okay-just sit and listen to these short stories online with your child and talk about the stories together.Be Aware of Difficulties:As you take the time to read short stories online to and with your child, be aware of any areas they may be struggling with. If they are struggling to read or sound out words, you will want to pay attention to those things. They might need glasses (as I did in kindergarten), they may have hearing difficulties, or a learning disability such as dyslexia. If your child is struggling, this is the age to get them help, don't panic, just be aware. If your child is struggling to learn how to read or you suspect a reading or learning disability, we recommend checking out
