Hi, I'm Ann Kennedy on behalf of Expert Village and we'll be looking at correcting common
reading problems in children. Young readers common problems. We've already looked at 5
common problems and strategies to help the child to read. We're going to look at another.
Run sentences together. One of the things you can do is let's read this together. Let's
read the punctuation and hear the pronunciation. If they're running words in sentences, sometimes
remember in the letters when were blending sounds like b-at and we separated it and blended
it together and we saw when they put too many words together, now they're running sentences
together. Where they're saying, let me in says Mr. Wolf or I will blow and they're not
using their signals. We looked at signals before. So how do we correct this common problem?
We promote phrasing. Let's read the punctuation. Even if you have to spend far more time than
you do in the beginning when you were first teaching them to read. Read the punctuation
and hear the pronunciation. Promotes phrasing. Quotation mark, that means somebody is going
to speak. "Let me in!" And they have lots of wonderful songs, that's what quotation
marks do and question marks and exclamation points. Don't ignore this because your children
will be reading and writing so much as they get to school and this is part of your writing
connection. Introduce and really look at your signals at the end of sentences. Just stop
and go on to the next.
