**When you start to teach your child to read what is a good phonics curriculum to follow**

Starting to teach your children to read with phonics can be a daunting task so which phonics curriculum is the best for you. There are many phonics curriculum programs out there to follow. Some are good and

some are expensive and others aren’t so where do you begin.

When my daughter had problems with reading I started looking in the bookshops and on the Internet.

I brought a few books but my daughter just didn’t like the books or reading or anything to do with reading, so I was left stranded. While I was doing as Internet search for ‘teaching your child to read’ the name Montessori kept popping up. So I checked out the Montessori Method and I found it to be an excellent way of teaching reading.

It is very simple and she uses sandpaper letters to help reinforce the word on the child’s mind. Also the method is not confusing as it is quite straightforward. Some phonics curriculum programs go into the theory and that can confuse the issue.

With the sandpaper letters it breaks up the lesson and gives the child something to do other than recite words. My daughter loved it and it really helped her on the road to reading success. Even now if she has trouble spelling a word I bring out the sandpaper letters and we use them to implant the word on her mind

I use this course for teaching phonics, it uses the Maria Montessori method of teaching reading and writing, and I recommend it to anyone who is teaching reading. For other phonics courses I recommend see our teach reading page
