There's a few ways that I encourage our families to help their students read at home:
create some sort of fun challenge that you all can complete together. Reading together pushes both parties to hold each other accountable. Create a literacy calendar of sorts to track progress, daily activity or even to just to see how often your student is reading. Lastly you could run some sort of workshop for families to learn some techniques, as we know as educators our families are busy but if they had some tools in their tool box this could help take the stress away.
