You may read with your child every day... but are you making the MOST out of that time together? Tiny changes in 'story time' could make a big difference in how your child does in school when it comes to reading.

Here are some tips that "Morning Express with Robin Meade" correspondent Ryan Smith picked up while reporting on cutting edge methods educators at the Atlanta Speech School are using to help kids overcome all kinds of reading disabilities. Each student at the school gets individual treatment to help him or her get over their individual literacy hurdle, but there are some general things every parent can do to improve a child's reading ability.

Ask questions: Executive Director Comer Yates says, "When you are reading with your child, that is the time for conversation." Asking your child questions while reading helps him or her build vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Don't always challenge: When your child is reading to YOU, Yates suggests books that are filled with words that your kid already knows so they can work on fluency and speed. That will also build confidence in a young reader which can be eroded if they're having to struggle with big or unfamiliar words. Yates says, "If you are asking them to read something by which they are building vocabulary, you're asking them to do too much at one time."

Give new words meaning: When it IS time to learn new words, you should read TO them... and choose something at a higher level. That way the child hears those unfamiliar words in context.

Don't interrupt: Finally when a child is reading to you and a makes a mistake, don't correct them mid-sentence. Let them read on and then, when you come to a comfortable stopping point, go back and analyze that trouble spot together.
