Improving Your Reading Skills

          Reading is important in every one of us. It is part of our daily life wherein we can know some information with the use of symbols or letters that can be seen wherever we are. It becomes part of us that help us to be a better person in the near future. Some said that "kung anong basa, sya'ng sulat" so I think, it's so important that we know how to read because it will be the basis for us to write whatever we want to right according to what is on our mind.

          Kinder Garten is the stage wherein the students' reading skills is being hone. Basic words are the only thing that the students in this level can do for they have only limited knowledge unlike with the students in graders. There are some tips that I want to share in order for you to improve students' reading skills.

As a teacher:

1.     You must provide pictures before the word so that they will have the idea on what's being asked to be read.

"Learners in this stage, by nature, like seeing symbols or pictures for it catch the attention of everyone. Sometimes they don't care on the letters written beside the picture. with the use of this pictures, teachers not only catch the attention of the learners but it can also be the way to motivate them to read in a way that as the teacher points the picture, letters will be pronounce as they recite the name of the picture being presented."

2.     You can have a review about yesterday's discussion.

"Recall them all over again so that it will mark it their mind. Learners in this stage, by nature, are an adventurous one who likes to explore to know different things around them. They should be given the guidance that they should have for them to be motivated. They often ask question that needs the right answer because it will sink in to their mind as they grow. You need to focus on how you can make them love learning while they were exploring the world of Kinder Garten."

3.     You should try to motivate the learner to read on their own house

"It would be easy for them to catch up with the next lesson by this way, if they already review the past and the next lesson. Now, it's the guardian or parent's responsibility to take the chance of teaching their children. It’s not only for educational purposes but also for the bonding that the children and parents will have as they were learning from each other."
