WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY CHILD POINTS. TO WORDS WITH HIS FINGER WHILE READING? Don't worry! In the beginning stages of learning to read it is per- fectly normal for a student to help himself focus both his attention and his eyes on the printed words. He does this by finger pointing, or by using his hand to follow the line of print. This guides his eyes to move along the line in the right direction, and, in addition, increases con- centration because two systems (his eyes and his hands) are working together in performing one task. Some students will continue to finger point for a while when learning to read. Others will give it up rather quickly as they become more proficient in reading, and some may never start. It is usually best to leave a student alone if he is finger pointing because he probably needs this extra focusing and concentration help, although you can often suggest the student use a card or some other kind of line marker rather than his finger. He will generally discontinue it on his own when it is no longer needed. It is interesting to find students and adults of all reading levels use on Occasion, some kind of finger-pointing or hand-underlining when attacking very difficult reading material (where they may not be familiar with all the words or ideas). As with a beginning reader, it helps to increase concentration and keep the eyes in the right place, and therefore makes the reading task easier.
