Here is a tip for you if you have a child or children that are reading too slowly:

1. Read easy books.
2. Practice reading by phrases.
3. Reread the same passage and chart the time.
4. Reread with expression until the child or children are ready to read it to a group of children, the principal, grandma, etc.
5. Learn high frequency words (sight words).

Know Its has online games and hands on games for high frequency words. Our new material has activities where you can set a timer to flash words and phrases.
