As a homeschooling or online schooling parent, your role is multifaceted, and one critical aspect often overlooked is assessing your child’s reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. These foundational skills are essential for academic success and lifelong learning.
Unfortunately, many kids struggle to read due to:
Insufficient focus on foundational literacy skills.
Overreliance on technology in online schools.
Large class sizes in traditional schools.
Undiagnosed learning differences like dyslexia or ADHD.
By regularly assessing and supporting your child in these areas, you can help bridge these gaps. Create a rich language environment at home, focus on phonics and comprehension, and make reading a fun, engaging activity. Small steps can make a big difference!
