<h1>Help Your Kids Improve Reading Skills</h1>
<p>As a parent you do have the power and ability to<strong> help your kids improve their reading skills</strong>. There are 4 easy to implement activities that each take just a few minutes a day to improve reading.</p>
<ol>
<li>Improve<strong> reading fluency</strong> in 5 minutes a day</li>
<li>Improve <strong>spelling</strong> and learn the 8 ways we put letters together to make words</li>
<li>Improve reading comprehension by playing a <strong>reading comprehension</strong> game</li>
<li>Improve <strong>writing skills</strong> using specially designed graphic organizers</li>
</ol>
<p>Today I’m going to talk about the first activity you can implement in just minutes a day.</p>
<h2><strong>Improve Reading Skills: Reading Fluency Training</strong></h2>
<p>Reading fluency training is one of the easiest activities for parents to do with their kids to <strong>improve reading skills</strong>, and it only takes 5 minutes a few times a week to make a dramatic difference. Reading fluency training works to <i>improve reading skills</i> whether you have LD, dyslexia, are falling through the cracks, or are even gifted.</p>
<p>You may not realize how important <strong>reading fluency</strong> and accuracy is, so here is an example on how it impacts your reading or your child’s reading.</p>
<p>For example, you are reading a passage and read <em>Susan can go to the store</em>. You finish reading the selection and go to the questions and there is a question that asks, <em>Why couldn&#8217;t Susan go to the store?</em> You think to yourself &#8211; What…I read <em>Susan can go to the store.</em> This question doesn&#8217;t make any sense to me. BUT, what the sentence actually said was…<em>Susan can&#8217;t go to the store.</em> Your eyes skipped the apostrophe t…The whole meaning was lost.</p>
<p>That is one of the things that the <strong><a href="http://www.bonnieterrylearning.com/reading/"><em>Five Minutes to Better Reading Skills</em></a> reading fluency</strong> training program corrects. With improved <strong>reading fluency</strong>, you don’t skip or omit words or parts of words. You don’t miss out on important pieces that are critical to <strong>reading comprehension</strong>. That is why it is important to have accurate reading for<strong> reading comprehension</strong>.</p>

<blockquote cite="mid:000601cb2dbb$ab325d50$53a46c6c@Karen"><p>Bonnie,</p>
<p>I found you through Youtube and am intrigued by the <em>10 Minutes to Better Study Skills</em>!</p>
<p>My home-schooled daughter is 16 and dual-enrolling in our local community college and currently in her first class.</p>
<p>She is struggling with note-taking!  She also took the SAT in June and scored poorly in the reading portion, especially the &#8220;passage&#8221; reading. I&#8217;m beginning to make the connection with these two problems&#8230; there seems to be a struggle, for her, in pulling out keys points in a written document, or passage, and in an oral lecture.</p>
<p>She tends to want to write down too much from a lecture and gets overwhelmed when given a passage to read with questions to answer, especially when timed. For writing assignments, she is gifted in vocabulary usage, spelling and grammar, but the process of writing becomes a long, drawn-out process.</p>
<p>She wants to &#8220;hover&#8221; over a slew of ideas but struggles to land the plane.  When she does land the plane, it will take hours.</p>
<p>Will your book and the forms therein help us?</p>
<p>Karen McGold</p></blockquote>
<p>Karen,</p>
<p>There is a direct connection with the ability to pull out the main idea and important details and note-taking. You want to be sure the notes you take are meaningful and when you don&#8217;t know how to quickly pull out that information from either reading a passage or listening to a lecture, you are &#8216;sunk&#8217;.</p>
<p>That is one of the specific reasons I designed the graphic organizers in<a href="http://www.bonnieterrylearning.com/reading/"><em> Ten Minutes to Better Study Skills</em></a> in the manner that I did. These forms not only help you with note-taking, they also become a &#8216;study-guide&#8217; for you when you are reviewing the material or answering the questions at the end of a section or chapter. They can also be used to learn how to take notes while listening to a lecture or presentation.</p>
<p>The graphic organizer fill-in-the-blank forms are designed specifically with your daughter in mind.</p>
<p>Another product that will also help her is our game the<a href="http://www.bonnieterrylearning.com/solution/comprehension-zone-reading-game/"> </a><em><a href="http://www.bonnieterrylearning.com/solution/comprehension-zone-reading-game/">Comprehension Zone</a> </em>because it teaches you specifically how to pull out the main idea, details, and sequence what you read or listen to in a game format. It can be played for both reading or listening comprehension. Playing with the skill, practicing the skill through play, and then utilizing the <a href="http://www.bonnieterrylearning.com/writing/"><em>Ten Minutes to Better Study Skills</em> </a>will go a long way in teaching her those missing skills.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My question is what is the best sequence of teaching spelling patterns to dyslexic students?</p>
<p>Which spelling patterns in particular will be the most tough for the  dyslexics to grasp &amp; what knock-on effect can they have<br />
on the learning of other patterns?</p>
<p>Which doors would be opened in reading &amp; writing by knowing a  certain pattern &amp; which would be closed if the pattern was not  known??</p>
<p>Kindly explain.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Aisha.</p>
<p>Aisha,</p>
<p>There are only 8 spelling patterns in the English language. I teach spelling with the spelling books &#8211; <a href="http://www.bonnieterrylearning.com/spelling/"><em>Making Spelling Sense</em> and <em>Making Spelling Sense II</em>.</a> The spelling books are designed to work with dyslexics of all ages. In addition to teaching spelling patterns it addresses both auditory and visual processing at the same time.</p>
<p>I always start with the vowel/consonant spelling  pattern as it is the easiest one to learn and the most predominant spelling pattern in the English language. Then I go on to the vowel consonant silent e spelling pattern. The other spelling patterns follow.</p>
<p>As you gradually introduce the patterns with multiple lessons per spelling pattern, I don&#8217;t think there is really one pattern that would be considered the hardest one.</p>
<p>When you understand the structure of the language you can not only spell thousands of words, you can also decode thousands of words. Teaching spelling with this spelling program addresses both encoding (spelling &#8211; writing the word down) and decoding (sounding out words &#8211; reading) simultaneously.</p>

<p>Parents want to help their kids improve their skills. That is a given as far as I&#8217;m concerned. All parents want the best for their children and when learning reading, writing, or spelling is hard they often don&#8217;t know where to turn. Parents often spend a small fortune seeking the help they need for their child.  I know what it is like, being a parent as well as a teacher. </p>
<p>I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve purchased materials that haven&#8217;t worked. That is what I keep in mind when I design materials to use with my struggling (LD, dyslexic, ADHD, or gifted) students &#8211; whether they are in 1st grade, 5th grade, 8th grade, high school, or even adult students. I want to create materials that will work, that will improve their reading skills, writing skills, and spelling skills and be affordable at the same time. It truly is one of my passions.</p>
<p>Each reading, writing, and spelling product is developed out of the needs of my students and is tested with them to be sure they work. We look at ease of usage and the results the reading, writing, and spelling materials produce. But, I don&#8217;t want you to take my word for it. After all, I created the materials, although I am truly inspired when I create them, so I can&#8217;t take total credit at all! </p>
<p>What I would like to do is to share what Donna Morello has to say about our program here &#8211; our Awaken the Scholar Within Program where I coach you on how to help your children yourself and provide you with the reading, writing, and spelling materials to do so. Because I walk you through the materials &#8211; the program, holding your hand so to speak, they work. You are no longer alone just buying something and hoping it will work. </p>
<p>With our Awaken the Scholar Within Program you have the opportunity to ask me your questions twice a week. You have every avenue of support available to you. Do yourself a favor and listen in to hear what Donna Morello and Janet Landerholm have to say.</p>

<p>Summer stretches out before you. Your kids are excited about being out of school. However, it doesn’t take too long before your kids are claiming they are bored. So, to keep your kids interested over the summer, one of the easiest things to do is to provide fun learning games for your kids. </p>
<p>Research has shown that when kids are not involved with learning activities over the summer, their skills don’t just stay where they were at the end of the school year. Instead, your kids lose ground and retention of what they learned over the prior school year. So, one thing you can do to prevent this learning slide, is to play learning games over the summer.<br />
Here is a Review of Bonnie Terry&#8217;s learning grammar game <em>The Sentence Zone</em> written by Lori Seaborg of http://www.FreelyEducate.com:</p>
<p>We are having a great time learning grammar.</p>
<p>&#8220;What?!&#8221; you say, &#8220;You&#8217;re having great time in grammar class?&#8221;</p>
<p>Why, yes. That&#8217;s exactly what I meant.  Thanks to <em>The Sentence Zone</em>, a grammar game designed by Bonnie Terry Learning, grammar can not only be bright and colorful, but as much fun as a game of Monopoly. Here is how it works, as described by Bonnie Terry:</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a fun way to improve writing and grammar skills, this game is for you! For 2 to 6 players, grades 1st and up. Rules are easily mastered. <em>The Sentence Zone</em> can be played at six levels &#8211; from Level 1 in which the player builds a subject and verb sentence, to Level 6 in which the player builds complex sentences with independent and dependent clauses. With over 500 color coded cards, students are sure to be unique and entertaining every time. A great reinforcing individual activity where a player keeps track of his score from day to day, trying to top his previous score, or a great group activity where competition drives creativity and learning.</p>
<p>It took me a little while to figure out <em>The Sentence Zone</em>. It wasn&#8217;t a game that we could play right out of the box.  But after reading the directions, and realizing the many directions the game could go, we got started learning our grammar and &#8211; enjoying &#8211; it!  Since enjoyment leads the way to a love of learning, <em>The Sentence Zone</em> is a success in our home.</p>
