Learning Reading Takes Time and Commitment

After the kid gets bored or loses concentration it is time to give up learning reading, and come back at a later time. If they are not

interested in you reading aloud you could be wasting your time. Also, sometimes it can take a long time-- perhaps 5, 10 or even 15 minutes-- before the kid starts to show an interest in what you are reading.

Hang in there because the kid will usually come around and start learning reading. It takes a bit longer for them to unwind and change to a new topic. Then they will be right for hopefully a good half hour or so.

If the kid’s vocabulary is pretty limited, use pictures with the word printed on the paper. Then they can learn the word and how to say it. I like printing out the color pages the kid likes from the internet. I write on the picture what it is, like “cat” or “bird’ or whatever.

Then I get the kid to copy the letters to make the word, as we say the word together. I phonically say each letter so the kid gets a grasp of what the letters and the word sounds like.

As long as the kid writes the words, I will keep printing out new pages and new words to color in. If the kid likes doing a special part of the reading process like coloring in and writing words I will let them do it. If they like doing it they will learn faster.
