Reasons for slow reading

Sound the alarm because your beloved child is notreached the average level of reading standards, it is not worth it. There is no need to scold the child either. Parents should understand the reasons for the lag and eliminate them. Perhaps the second-grader reads slowly because of:

  • Complicated or uninteresting literature. Each schoolchild has his own interests and characteristics. It is important to consider them when drawing up a list of literary works for reading.
  • Regression. This phenomenon is easily revealed by observing how the second-grader reads. If his eyes return to the beginning of a word or sentence, and he often pronounces what he reads in his mind, there is regression. It can be the result of a habit or inattention.
  • Bad memory. Adjust the situation will help special exercises.
  • Poor development of the articulatory apparatus. You can correct it with the help of exercises.
  • Weak vocabulary. In this case, it is necessary to identify unfamiliar concepts that come across in the text and explain them.

These are the most common reasons, but not all. If a second-grader reads slowly, it is not difficult to correct the situation. By paying a little more attention to the child, parents will soon be surprised by his successes.
