Letting him do this is fine. Of course if he was reading for public performance we'd want him to be more fluent. But what you're doing when reading with him is an appropriate thing to do.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />TrevorTrevor Cairneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743409298855125040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200808769555430311.post-6210854161272807912010-03-26T13:20:13.982+11:002010-03-26T13:20:13.982+11:00I've had to learn to stop myself from pressuri...I've had to learn to stop myself from pressuring my son to continue when he pauses during his reading. He's a very distractible kid, and at first I thought his mind was just wandering off onto other things, until I realised he was stopping to look at the picture and take it all in. It's just that stopping in the middle of the sentence to do that seemed quite strange to me!Pruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545993243891419887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200808769555430311.post-75799204180776608252010-03-20T08:54:23.786+11:002010-03-20T08:54:23.786+11:00Hi Marita,

To stop your 6 year old from reading silently would just frustrate her. Of course, at 6 some oral reading is necessary to help her and to make sure that she isn't making too many errors or miscues. Sounds like she's doing well with reading.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />TrevorTrevor Cairneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743409298855125040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200808769555430311.post-90295280003531499342010-03-20T07:26:08.941+11:002010-03-20T07:26:08.941+11:00My 6 year old keeps forgetting she should be readi...My 6 year old keeps forgetting she should be reading out loud as she gets engrossed in the readers sent home from school and starts to read in her head :) We've come to an agreement that so long as she starts off reading a couple of pages out loud and can tell me the rest of the story after then all is good.Maritahttp://leechbabe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
