The reading strategies that are the most useful for early learners usually involve a mixture of phonics with sight words and general knowledge The reading strategies you should focus
on when you start teaching your children to read should mainly focus on
phonics. It has been proven that the number one reason children fall
behind in reading is because of their To help your child with phonics start
reading nursery rhymes There are a lot of phonics
programs available, the one I use was designed by Maria Montessori about a
100 years ago. After reading to your child they soon realize that the
words on the page are translated into sounds they understand. This
realization can be the starting point for wanting to learn
to read. Your child can
see the words on the page and see you read them Then they want to be able
to do that too. If you can build this ‘want to’ in your child the road
to reading might be a lot easier. I am not a great believer in computer
games but some games do require a lot of reading and if your child likes a
game that can be a great motivator to read. One game I do recommend is
“Aveyond” as the graphics in this game appeal to younger children, and
there is a lot of reading in the game. For more information about a phonics program that is very good at teaching reading and writing see our teaching reading page.
