3 Tips to Teach Your child How to Read

[NikkyJ]

 Learning to read at a young age is important for the development of the child. It helps them develop a better understand of their surroundings, allows them to gather information from printed materials, and provides them with a wonderful source of entertainment when they read stories and rhymes. Children develop at different rates, and some children will develop reading skills quicker than other children; however, what's important is that as the parent, you are keenly aware of your child's maturity and reading level to provide them with appropriate books and activities to help them improve.

As parents, you are the most important teacher for your children. You will introduce your child to books and reading. Below we have some tips to help you teach your child to read.

Teach Your Child How to Read Tip #1

Teach your child alphabet letters and sounds at the same time. Studies have shown that children learn best when they are taught the letter names and letter sounds at the same time. In one study, 58 preschool children were randomly assigned to receive instructions in letter names and sounds, letter sound only, or numbers (control group). The results of this study are consistent with past research results in that it found children receiving letter name and sound instruction were most likely to learn the sounds of letters whose names included cues to their sounds. [1]

When teaching your child the letter sounds, have them slowly trace the letter, while saying the sound of the letter at the same time. For example, if you were teaching your child the letter "A", you would say:

"The letter A makes the /A/ (ah) sound."

Then have your child say the /A/ sound while tracing the letter with his or her index finger.

Teaching a Child How to Read Tip #2

When teaching your child to read, always emphasize with them that the proper reading order should be from left to right, and top to bottom. To adults, this may seem so basic that anyone should know it. However, our children are not born with the knowledge that printed text should be read from left to right and top to bottom, and this is why you'll sometimes see children reading from right to left instead - because they were never explicitly taught to read from left to right. When teaching your child how to read, always emphasize this point with them.

Teach Your Child How to Read Tip #3

Teach final consonant blends first. Teaching words such "at" and "and" can lead your child directly to learning words that rhyme with these. For example, for "at", you can have:

Lat
Pat
Mat
Cat
Sat
Bat
Spat
Chat

For "and", you can have these rhyming words:

Sand
Band
Land
Hand
Stand
Bland
Brand
Grand
and so on...

You can start teaching blends once your child has learned the sounds of some consonants and short vowel sounds. You don't need to wait until your child has mastered the sounds of all the letters before teaching blends.

Learning to read is a long process, but it doesn't have to be a difficult process. Broken down into intuitive and logical steps, a child as young as two years old can learn to read, and older children can accomplish even more.

Start by exposing your child to letters and words at an early age. Take regular trips to the library and check out lots of books to share with your little one. Expose your child to the alphabet with tools such as flashcards, posters and puzzles. Sing the alphabet song together and point out letters in everyday life. Once your child learns the alphabet, begin teaching letter sounds. Read books together every single day and point out the letters. Take turns reading sentences and give lots of positive feedback. It is so important to be patient and provide lots of encouragement. Remember, practice makes perfect! 👨‍👶🏽👩‍

I began to teach ABC my boys at the age of 2,5 and didn`t know how to start at all.   The first 3 years of a child’s life - the most crucial period for brain development. That is way it is important to choose toys or apps developing important life-long skills: problem solving, communication, self-control and relationship building. I suggest games being one of the most intensive aspect of brain development. My kids simply love Zebrainy ABC Wonderlands https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1165324239?mt=8  . It is the most beautiful game for learning letters and stimulating speech ever, amazingly detailed and warmly touching. And what is more important it wouldn`t harm your child.
