📚5 Ways to Boost Your Child’s Reading Confidence This School Year

Confidence plays a huge role in how kids approach reading. When children feel capable, they are more likely to keep trying even when the text gets tricky.

Here are 5 ways to help your child feel like a confident reader:

1️⃣ Celebrate effort, not just results
2️⃣ Choose books that match their reading ability
3️⃣ Model your own love of reading
4️⃣ Read together as much as you can
5️⃣ Create a comfortable and pressure-free reading space

✨ The right strategies can help kids feel proud of their reading progress and keep building skills all year long.

📚✨ Set your child up for reading success this school year by starting a conversation with their teacher.

Here are 4 questions to ask:

🔹 What reading assessments will my child take, and will I see the results?
Most states require early reading screenings in K–2. Your teacher can share which ones your school uses and how results will be shared.

🔹 What’s the school’s approach to teaching reading?
Ask if your child’s school uses the Science of Reading, a research-backed approach that benefits all learners.

🔹 What’s the most helpful thing I can do at home?
Your teacher can recommend simple ways to build reading skills and confidence.

🔹 If my child is not meeting benchmarks, how will I be informed?
Early intervention is most effective. Make sure you’ll be notified quickly if concerns arise.

💡 Sprout Labs partners with parents to strengthen reading skills through our Reading Roadmap and personalized instruction from an Orton-Gillingham Reading Specialist. Pair what happens in school with targeted support at home.
