Answer 1

Hooked on Pheonix. But if she is just now going into Kindergarten then I don't know that I would pressure her to read yet. Normally kids don't start to read until the 1st grade.

Make sure that it is something that she will be interested in. Also short short stories with pictures stuff that she can memorize so that she can learn the words. You might try flash cards first. Probably first you need to make sure that she knows her alphabet and all the sounds. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Try the following sources:
1. Hooked on Phonics (great program and it comes with books)
2. Learning Resources (lots of great reading games, activities;etc.)
3. Any Reader Rabbit software and books
4. ABC Poster for her room (even if you don't go over it everyday, it is a visual reminder)
5. Books on Tape

Remember, to introduce reading to her. Don't force reading on her. You want her to LOVE reading. Take her to the library. Read her stories. Go shopping with her at the grocery store (play a game where you look for items with a B. Read the labels to her.) Label items in your house. Write the word that corresponds to the item. Introduce reading to her by Phonics;etc. Remember, she will be reintroduced to reading when she goes to Kindergarten. I'm sure she will do just fine. Have a good rest of your Summer Break!

Answer 4

The problem with grade school is that they take a whole bunch of different kids with different levels of cognitive maturity and different styles of learning, lump them all together and teach them the same way. At six years of age, it is possible that your son isn't quite equipped to be able to read! If I were you, I would suggest that you read with your son every single day. Make sure that he sees that you enjoy reading and also make sure that he gets to read books that he enjoys. If he discovers that he likes reading, he will be ahead once he 'catches up'. If these problems persist into the second grade, it might be a good idea to get him tested. Right now, I'd suggest that you just keep reading with him and see how things change on their own. It is sometimes better to avoid showing children the stigma of 'learning disabilities' until they're a bit older.

Answer 5

it would be best to first teach her sounds, letter clusters, and then small words. then, read her favorite book and have her finish the end of the sentence or you read a page then have her read the next page. its the little things that make a difference. hope it helps
