-Literacy Tips-
- Begin reading to our children when they are babies and keep reading to them. Encourage painting and drawing, this will lead to them making letters. Be a positive inspiration to children by showing them in good example with your own love for books. Give to them good literary habits.
- As a tutor encourage a check-list for capitals, punctuation and spelling. The writer should read their work out loud. Is the writing clear, comprehensive and understandable? Always proof read writen work more then once and ask someone else to read it too.
- Get a friend or join a support group to practice reading out loud. This is sometimes one of the most painful concepts when one has literary weaknesses. Reading out loud will surely strengthen reading, writing and social skills.
- Something that is very helpful and private is to have a diary or journal just for your thoughts. You can use this to perfect what you are working on and also a tutor can encourage note keeping to show visible growth and progress.
- A visit to the library can introduce an array of literary tools that far exceed books. Certainly there will be resource material for any one at any level or age group with limited literary skills.
- A book club introduces literature that perhaps would not be considered otherwise. There is also that encouragement to finish a book in its entirety and to understand what we have read so that we can participate in the discussion group. There are different reading levels and age groups to consider.
