How to teach a Kinder student to read?

Question

I can not get my 5 1/2 year old Kindergarten student to sit down and learn how to read. He won't sound any words out he gets frustrates and wants to quit. I can't get him to focus enough or try to read any of the words. I have tried EVERYTHING and even tried with the preschooler books that only have 2 or 3 words in each sentence. Please help! Any ideas on how to get him to sound out words, or learn to read???

There are a lot of electronic products on the market that work with phonics and help kids read. If you can't get him to sit and read a book perhaps an educational electronic learning tool will work. Phonics is the way to go for sure. Just orally talking about the letters and the sounds they make. Or listening to hooked on phonics tapes in the car. I think the vtech looks interesting too. I have two kids that I homeschool and my son wasn't interesting in reading either. I started off with phonics books that I let him pick out at the store. I also made sure we were alone because he seemed embarrassed to try in front of his sister. Just some ideas.

Read to him first!!
Pick up books at the library that are interesting to you so you don't get too bored yourself and start reading stories to him.
Don't worry if he isn't interested in learning the words. The first thing you want to do is get him interested in the story.

After you've gotten his interest, let him pick a book and then when you are reading stop and ask him "whats that word" pointing to a word that he already knows.

It will take time but once he gets interested in stories and he can relate the words to the story, he will start wanting to learn to read.

if you are not much of a reader yourself, and are only picking up books for him to read, he probably won't be much of a reader either. Readers are usually exposed to reading at a young age and grow up in homes where parents are always reading something just for the heck of it, books, newspapers, etc.

Answer 5

You'll probably need to think of some games and search on the Internet for some ideas.

Kids often need a beat they can say the words to so music that is geared to the ABC's would be good.

Flash card games are another idea. Playing tic tac toe with different letters is good.

Try those and see how things go.

We started with what are called popcorn words. Start with looking for a and I, then in, and if, and an, in books you read. Called popcorn cuz they pop out at you. Then go for on and of, the, and is. Make it a game to look for popcorn words. Then start with letter families like AT, you start with AT then add c to form cat, bat, rat, mat, sat. AN, then can, man, ban. Then you can move on to double letter words, called jackpot letters, like bill, book, etc. Looking for these words like it is a game helps to keep them from getting frustrated. Flashcards with the popcorn words help. My Kdg. student just read his first book called I Can Read. We also use something called looking at print which is a small booklet that repeats the same basic sentence with a slight variation. Such as ,a frog on the wall, a frog on the floor, a frog in the bag. Helps them learn by seeing the same words until they recognize them. Good luck to you!!!

Answer 7

Read him the kinds of stories he likes at bedtime. Make sure they have lots of pictures. He will soon be matching the words you read to the letters on the page, and will start equating books with love and good times.

Answer 8

Read to him. Point to the words as you're reading slowly with the book facing him. After a while you can point to the letters and sound them out after a while of that THEN he will begin to immitate you.

Answer 9

make a game with flash cards. Like a cat and a letter C at the bottom. have them sit in a circle as they guess what the picture is called. Teach them the letter "C"...yes! :)
