10 Tips for improving your child's reading ability:

1. Read with and to your child everyday.
2. Teach them how to read slowly by first teaching them their name and helping them recognize that letters form a word.
3. Use phonics to promote phonetic awareness (that letters represent sounds).
4. Be patient.
5. Play with them, play catch, go to the park, and say the names of things as you go along.
6. Sing often with your child.
7. Read in front of your child. Children love to imitate their parents.
8. Let them choose the books they want to read with you.
9. As you read with your children, first read the sentences, and ask them to repeat after you.
10. Praise your child for their progress, even a little praise goes along way.
