For an easy start to teaching your child to read you should download some printable phonics worksheets

I think just using worksheets is not enough, so I add Montessori sandpaper letters to the learning pot. I make up the word or the phonic sound from the printable phonic worksheet and then I get the child to trace the sandpaper letters while saying the phonic sounds. This way the child is saying the phonic sound as well as writing it. Then she will say the completed word after she has filled in the worksheet. 

I do one square from the worksheet at a time so I can use the sandpaper letters. If the child is doing all the squares by herself she might get bored, as there are 20 squares on each page. This way I can keep track of what my child is learning and help her if she gets stuck. 

When starting out on the road to reading I always use the sandpaper letters as they are a tremendous help and the children like the feel of the sandpaper as they trace the letters.
