Every time your child misses a word hold up a finger. If more than five fingers are up at the end of the passage, it may be too hard for your child to read fluently and meaningfully. You don\u2019t have to forget about the challenging book if it is one your child enjoys.

These include &#8220;Tips,&#8221; &#8220;Free Online Resources,&#8221; \u201cThinking out of the Box,&#8221; and &#8220;Activity to Try.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p><h4>Tips<\/h4><p>Each &#8220;Tips&#8221; section educates parents in one small area of reading. For example, in Issue #1, the instructions help parents find books at the correct reading level for their child. Other articles in this section include everything from ways to check for understanding of a passage to great reading\/writing-related gifts to purchase.\u00a0<\/p><h4>Free Online Resources<\/h4><p>This section contains a link to a page of resources parents can check out online. Each online page is theme-related. Some pages provide links to educational articles for parents. Other pages contain resources such as games, free online books, and activities for students.<\/p><h4>Thinking Outside the Box<\/h4><p>This section offers suggestions for getting reluctant readers to read and write using means other than traditional books. Ideas include the following: following recipes, creating shopping lists, writing thank you notes, reading cereal boxes, playing karaoke, and so on.<\/p><h4>Activity to Try<\/h4><p align=\"justify\">Activities in this section include games, outings, and projects parents can do with their children to promote reading.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">I hope your students\u2019 reading
