Methods for measuring a child’s reading accuracy can be done by counting errors within a text, such as a book. By using the Five Finger Rule, you can give the child five tries to correctly sound out or recall a word they stubble on before the end of the text. Success is then measured by completing the text without exhausting all five attempts. Repeatedly practicing a child’s reading using the same book can help with memorization. Sight words are important words that should be recalled quickly by a child, and reading material with common sight words help a child find context and direction when reading sentences. It is also beneficial to review the material being read with the child, to help them understand what is going on and feel confident about repeating the act of reading aloud at school or in public.
