A reading session can become tense for your child, especially if it takes place at the end of the school day when your child may be mentally exhausted. This can be a stressful time for parents too. To avoid any additional stress suggest to your child that you could read for the next few pages. This approach may help to alleviate your stress, and will also let your child know, that you are aware of his difficulties.

In this way shared reading may be beneficial to maintain motivation for your child. One example could be where you only allow the child to read one word. If the book uses predictable or repetitive text, then the one word read by your child may be repeated several times, therefore giving them a positive experience of interacting with text, in an enjoyable and meaningful way. This may help your child experience a sense of success rather than failure.
