Reading Prompts

Prompts are statements or questions that you can make when your child is trying to read a text.


Effective prompts do the following:
- Help children to know what they are doing right
- Guide children to search for more information in the text in order to work out an unknown word


Examples of Effective Prompts:

Does it make sense?
- Can you see anything in the picture to help you?
- What is happening in the story?
- If this just happened, what might happen next?


Does it sound right?
- How would you say that?
- Can we say it that way?
- Try again and think what would come next?


Does it look right?
- What do you think you should see at the beginning?
- Do you know another word which looks like that?
- You said… Does that look right?
