Tips for Success

• Set a good pace. Work at a pace thaes right for your child, whether it's once a week or fou r times
a week.
• Don't overdo it. Fie the lessons into your chiJd's attentio n span, generally between 20 and
30 minutes.
• Master each lesson befo1·e moving on. N ew lessons build on previous on es, so n1ake sure your child
has masrercd che current lesson before movjng forward.
• Talk about the hooks and stories. Engaging your child in a co nversacion about what he's reading
helps stimulate his thi nking and co mprehension.
• Read to your child every day. The .m ore you share the love of reading with your ·child, the 1nore
your child will wanr co read.

Throughout this wo rkbook, you'll !>ee p arenr tips in ch e pu1·ple bar along the bo tto m of the page. These tips
are d esig ned co help you answer questio n s yo ur chiJd migbc have about things that arc new to him , and can
g ive yo u ideas on how to extend th e learning at h o me and o n the go.
