Some of the best ways to help your child improve their reading skills include: 
1. Provide them with books at a young age that are appropriate for their reading level and interests.
2. Read aloud to them as often as possible, emphasizing important words and concepts.
3. Encourage them to practice reading out loud by themselves or with an adult.
4. Ask questions about what they’re reading and have conversations about it.
5. Model good reading habits yourself, such as looking at the text closely, taking time to process the information, and asking clarifying questions.
6. Use phonics-based instruction when teaching new words and sounds.
7. Have regular reading assessments and use this data to track progress.
8. Offer rewards and incentives for meeting goals.
