​A simple way to get your child interested in reading and writing is to leave them little notes. Make them appropriate for their reading level and always positive. 
They could be something as simple as, "I love you so much!" or "Good job getting your socks today!"

In most cases this will build your relationship as well as make them eager to read something. They may even write you a note back.

If your child attends a public school and does not pronounce a sound by the age listed above, you can ask their general ed teacher about speech interventions to help determine if they need speech services.

​As a parent it is good to know what an effective classroom looks like and sounds like. Here are a few things that make up a good learning environment:

• In an effective classroom the teacher will be praising students who are following expectations instead of correcting students who are not following expectations.
• Students will be engaged by asking questions and responding, with their attention on the teacher or task.
• The teacher will be checking for student understanding. This can be in the form of student verbal responses, holding up white boards, modeling with manipulatives, or telling a partner, etc.
