Reading – Top Tips
Non Readers – Multi-sensory
We have talked a lot about learning styles and when children learn to read they need to be able
to see, hear and feel. Keep this in mind with younger students and don’t expect them to get it,
just from a book. Wooden letters both upper case and lower case are a great tool. – Ask your
Location or Regional coordinator for learning materials for younger students.
Games, games, games
In order for a student to read proficiently they need to practice, practice, practice and to make
this fun, you need to play games. Ask at the shelter/after school club what games they have or
ask your Regional/Location Coordinator for some.
If you have a student that is 7+ and not reading:
You have to be able to use material that is age appropriate as they may feel embarrassed and
reading a Barney book will only emphasis this.
Help your student to create a reading book of their own. Make a page at a time. Ask your
student to write about himself or herself or something that they are interested in. Draw a
picture or cut out photos from magazines etc. Then get your student to write about the picture
or you write out a simple sentence and then get them to copy it. Once they have written the
sentence get them to read it back.
Bingo – they have started to read. Every session create a new page for their book.
There are some great computer programs that help students to read, as well as tapes/cd’s and
internet sites.
