To teach your children to read you will need to follow some type of phonics lessonsIt is easier to teach phonics reading
when you are following a structured program of phonics lessons. There are
many programs available in the bookshops and on the internet. Some are
tightly structured so you follow These programs teach you how to teach phonics lessons as opposed to you rigidly following the program.The type you want depends on your situation. If you are supplementing schoolwork or another reading program, you want loosely structured phonics lessons that can be adapted to other programs. For situations like this I use a Montessori program because with the sandpaper letters you can make up whatever word you want. And the program basically teaches you how to teach, not what to teach. It can also be used with other programs like synthetic phonics. All you have to do is make up the phonic sounds in the sandpaper letters and get your child to trace the sandpaper letters. I like this type of program as it can be adapted easily to what your child is learning at school. Also it has another hidden advantage and that is, when you child is tracing the letters she is actually learning to write, so writing comes more naturally. If your situation requires a more structured program there are many to choose from and I recommend the phonics programs we mentioned on our Teach Reading page. Also if you like following a book there are many good phonics teaching books so have a look at our Books and Toys page.
