Practice reading skills when watching movies

Want to strengthen your child's reading skills in a different way? Try "reading" a movie together. As you watch, encourage your elementary schooler to ask questions. Talk about the characters. Ask your child to predict what will happen next. When the movie is over, point out connections between the story and your child's experiences, and discuss what your student liked or didn't like, and why. Then, remind your child to approach books this same way.
