A Parent's Guide to Reading
What reading actually covers
Reading brings together two separate strands: decoding — turning letters into words, which phonics builds — and comprehension, which is vocabulary, background knowledge and the ability to follow a story or an argument. A child can be strong at one and weak at the other. Our reading activities work the comprehension side with sight words, story sequencing and narrated illustrated storybooks that children can follow along with.
Why it matters
Reading comprehension is the skill that quietly determines progress in every other subject, because by around age nine children stop learning to read and start reading to learn. Children who read regularly for pleasure also meet vastly more vocabulary than conversation alone provides, and that vocabulary gap widens over the years.
Signs of readiness and typical milestones
Children develop at their own pace — these are rough guides, not targets.
- Around ages 3–5: Follows a picture story, turns pages the right way, and retells a familiar tale in roughly the right order.
- Around ages 6–9: Reads early chapter books, answers questions about what happened, and predicts what might come next.
- Around ages 10–12: Infers what a character feels from their actions, summarises, and reads for information as well as pleasure.
Three things you can try away from the screen
Keep the bedtime story going
Reading aloud does not stop being useful when a child can read alone. It is often the only time all day they meet complex language with no pressure attached.
Ask why, not what
“Why do you think she did that?” builds inference. “What colour was the door?” only checks attention.
Let them reread and choose badly
The same book forty times builds fluency, and a comic they picked themselves beats a classic they were handed.
