Teaching Children To Read is part and parcel of being a parent.

Nowadays we cannot really rely on the school system for teaching children to read. Reading is so important to the future of your children it would be a good idea if you helped them to achieve reading proficiency.

Teachers today are so overworked with so many students in one class coupled with the increase in disruptive students it is a wonder your kids learn anything at school.

You cannot leave reading to chance because it is so important.

If your child can’t read they will get left behind and you don’t want that to happen. So where do you start teaching children to read. You need a road map to show you the way but there is so much out there where do you start.

There are a number of resources that I recommend and the main one is phonics. Some parents think the phonic sounds are difficult to pronounce but they are the same as when we speak Your children need to learn phonics and phonics are not all that difficult. Once your children know the phonic sounds they can read, but they do not always understand what they are reading.

As a supplement to what your children learn at school I recommend a Montessori teaching reading program as you can use it with what your children are learning at school. You must realize that teaching children to read takes time and commitment. We are looking at years not weeks so be prepared to spend a lot of time teaching your children. The time will pay off when you give your child a head start at school and therefore a head start in life.
