When They Make a Mistake: THE 5 SECOND RULE & What to Say
Have a reading question for Lindsey? Ask it here!
Count on your fingers, write tally marks on paper or carve them in wood. :) Whatever you do, don't interrupt their thinking. If they fix it all by themselves you'll want to see it! If they don't, listen for how to respond.
The goal is for them to recognize their mistakes on their own. The first time they fix their own mistake BY THEMSELVES is one of the biggest times for a celebration!

Is your reader at the very first stages? How to Teach Your Grownup to Read is a picture book you can read with your child where you'll BOTH get comfortable with 5 important reading skills: 1 to 1 correspondence, self-monitoring, searching for clues, looking at the picture, and familiar reading. Better than a handout and something I wish I could have given my students when I was a 1st grade teacher. Just snuggle up and read together with the BEST illustrations by James Koenig!
