Bring the joy of reading to your child's life!

I will strive to bring you helpful information, suggestions and tips to make reading a joyful experience for you and your child.

Imagine the satisfaction you felt after finishing a good book!

Imagine how you felt when an author described a scene or an emotion even better than any Hollywood production could make.

Remember the pride you felt after you had completed some important research for school or work.

I will share with you information from 10 years of classroom experience to help you and your child in the areas of:

comprehension

fluency

interventions

book choices

and other relevant topics to help make reading a joyful exprerience for you and your child!

I also hope to give you ideas and suggestions on how to communicate with your child's teacher as your child embarks on the exciting adventure of learning!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and I will get back with you promptly.

I have to tell you about some of my new pages! I have added pages of wordlists from pre-kindergarten level to third grade. These wordlists are also known as sight words or high frequency words.

It's a good idea to practice these words with your child if they are having difficulties in with their fluency or their reading rate is considered slow for their grade. I also added wordlists of Special Word Groups, such as the days of the week, months of the year, numbers, colors, and holidays.

Then, and this is the best part... I took the words from the Pre-K list and wrote a story about Clyde Clown and his search for a new nose. I hope you enjoy it!

To help you know what level and type of book to share with your child, please click on the Variety of Books tab, on that page you will find a link to a page about what type of book to enjoy with your child based on their age.

I added a page about series books for kids, which are in order by grade level.

You'll also find pages with suggested book lists in order by grade level.

I hope you find this information useful, please let me know what you think!

To help with comprehension, I have added a page of tips to help your child stay focused on what they are reading, please click on the Comprehension button to go straight to these great tips!

Thanks for visiting and check back often as I will be adding pages soon.
