How do I know if my child is ready to read on their own?

One way to determine if your child is ready to read on their own is to have them practice reading aloud with you. Ask questions about what they are reading and ask for feedback from you. Additionally, look at their comprehension skills by asking them to summarize the story or draw a picture related to it. You can also assess their ability to understand complex text by having them read out loud passages from books that are above their reading level. Finally, observe how quickly they can read and comprehend different types of texts and adjust your expectations accordingly.
