Turn on the Subtitles
There is a growing body of evidence that turning on the subtitles on TVs and tablets can hugely improve children’s reading.
Turning on quality subtitles means your child will read a staggering number of words. Put them on and your child will read the equivalent number of words that are in all the Harry Potter books, all of the Lord of the Rings, all of the Chronicles of Narnia and everything Roald Dahl wrote, combined!
Research has shown that it can double the chance of your child leaving school as a proficient reader. You can turn them on for the whole family or most streaming services will now allow you to do it just for children’s profiles.
At school, teachers are going to put the subtitles on for all videos that we watch. Try it at home!
