Parents these are the TOP FIVE THINGS YOU CAN TO DO TO IMPROVE YOUR CHILD'S READING AT HOME, according to Bobbee Bee.A. Use reading opportunities to help your child develop fluency
1. Listen to your child read books that he has brought home from school. Be patient as your child practices reading. Let him know that you are proud of his reading.
2. If your child is not a very fluent (that is, she reads slowly and makes lots of mistakes), ask her to reread a paragraph or page a few times.
B.
Find opportunities for your child to spell and write
Find opportunities for your child to spell and write1. Encourage your child to write often for example, letters and thank-you notes to relatives and friends, simple stories, e-mails, and items for the grocery lists.
2. Help your child learn the correct spellings of words.
C. Find opportunities to help your child develop vocabulary, knowledge of the world and 
comprehension
comprehension 1. Talk about new words that your child has read or heard. Ask her to make up sentences with the new words or use the words in other situations.
2. Help your child use the dictionary or thesaurus to check on the meaning of new words she reads or hears.
3. Help your child become aware of prefixes, suffixes, and root words. Point them out in books you are reading together or in print materials around the house. Ask her to think of other words you are discussing.
4. Show your child how to use context-the sentences, words, and pictures around an unfamiliar word -to figure out the word's meaning.
5. As you read a book with your child, stop now and then to talk to her about the meaning of the book. Help her relate the experience or events in the book to 
experiences or events in her life or to other books you have read together. Ask her questions that encourage her to talk about the information in a nonfiction book, or about the characters or events of a fiction book. Encourage your child to ask questions. Ask her to tell in her own words what the book was about.
