Check understanding
- Notice when reading does not make sense and stop to re-read
- Self-correct errors mid-sentence (e.g. 'Wait, that doesn't sound right')
- Use meaning, sentence structure, and visual cues together to monitor reading
“When your child is reading and something doesn't quite make sense, do they go back and re-read that part — or use the surrounding words to work out what a tricky word or sentence means?”
