Reading Training For Intermediate- Helping Your Child Develop Essential Skills To Be A Better Reader

At the intermediate stage, your child definitely has a more than basic understanding of the English language and how it works. Your child is able to recognise words instantly and attribute context to it without having to struggle. It is now time for you to start thinking of giving your child intermediate training in reading English fluently . What better place to start than with PlanetSpark’s specialised Intermediate Reading Classes?

 

As you know, reading is the first step towards comprehension. In the fast paced world that you bring young ones into, it is essential to also equip them with the skills necessary for the competition they are about to face. Reading is an essential part of those skills that your child will need, to pursue a successful career in any field, in the future.

Once your child has graduated from the beginner’s stage in reading, they need a more challenging curriculum to further hone their reading and comprehension skills. At PlanetSpark, we are constantly curating curriculums that challenge your child’s cognitive abilities and enable them to come out with flying colours!

The intermediate reading training course is designed to enable your child to not just read mechanically. The course provides a solid foundation for your child to apply meanings already known to them to what they are reading , while they are reading, for ultimate comprehension.

About Reading For Intermediate

This course is best suited for your child if they are willing to take a plunge and do a deep dive into learning and practising reading skills. By the end of the course your child will not only develop stronger comprehension skills but will also have an enhanced vocabulary and develop great listening skills.

If you are considering enrolling your child in a reading class for intermediate children, then you must look out for these signs:

  • Is your child able to read fluently most of the time but occasionally stops to sound out words?

  • Are they able to relate pictures with text and guess the possible outcome of a story in advance sometimes?

  • If they are showing a keen interest in reading slightly more complicated texts.

If your child has been displaying any of the above signs when it comes to their reading patterns , it is time to consider enrolling them in the best reading class for early year students.

At this stage, it is your responsibility as a parent to be better involved in your child’s reading quests apart from getting them the expert training that is needed. Children in the intermediate stage of reading courses respond well to the following :

  • Allow them to choose what they want to read: At this stage the primary aim is to increase your child’s aptitude for reading. In order to quench their thirst for reading, give your child the liberty to read what they like. Once the momentum sets in, your child will find it difficult to stay away from books and half the battle is won right there! As a parent, this is the easiest thing you can do to help boost your child’s reading capabilities.

  • Let your child imitate you: It is common knowledge that your child will learn by watching in their formative years. At the intermediate stage, your child is at the cusp of graduating into the advanced stage of reading. As the parent , your involvement to help harbour your child’s interest is most crucial at this stage. Use this as an excuse to read that book you left unfinished years ago and win with your child!

  • Create a reading zone for your child: This will be your child’s safe-haven on difficult days. Books are often where we seek refuge momentarily when things around us get confusing. As your child is growing up, they are bound to face challenges navigating their interpersonal relationships in school and at home. Create a reading space for your child so that instead of adopting unhealthy coping mechanisms, they come back home and immerse themselves in reading . This not only makes your job of parenting easier but your child actually emerges a winner either way!

Learning to read at an early age will help your child develop their reading skills. So, what are you waiting for? Book a FREE class NOW and start learning today!

Fun activities you can try at home to help with reading training for intermediate student

We find it pertinent to emphasise on the fact that to develop reading skills for intermediate kids, your home is where it all starts. So we recommend that you engage in this as a family for best results:

Here are some fun things you can do as a family that is fun for everyone:

  • Make a family newspaper that is issued each Sunday. This can include articles about what is happening in each family member’s life, family outing suggestions, jokes cracked by family members etc. Make your child read it aloud in the living room, for everyone. This not only helps develop your child’s intermediate reading skills but also ensures that you bond better as a family! Now isn’t that a win-win situation for everyone involved?

  • Encourage your child to write letters to their favourite authors after they finish reading a particular book. This ensures that you have a fair idea as to your child’s understanding of the contents of the book. Remember that reading is just the mechanical part and the ultimate goal is understanding and comprehension

  • Sit with your child and make cute and artsy bookmarks at home. These little activities help your child recognise that reading has a special value for your family and helps nurture your child’s interest as a budding reader as they advance into the next stage.

  • Build a handmade dictionary with your child. You add on new words as and when you come by them . Everyone in the family is made aware of it. Explore ways to use them in sentences when you talk to each other. This enhances your child’s vocabulary and sometimes yours too!

  • Take your child to book signing events where they can meet their favourite authors!
