How do you start teaching a child to read? I do not remember when I learned to read.?

Question

Do you start with only alphabets or alphabets and small words?

Answer 1

Well, I bought the leap frog refrigerator phonics pack at Costco for 19.99. My daughter learned the alphabet as well as the phonics related to them and I started spelling out first the two letter words and then three for her to sound out. Then I started giving her the rules about sh sounds, th sounds, ch sounds and she has been reading since she was 4. She is six now and reads all kinds of things like Gulfstream and my mother in law's refrigerator had a sticker that said Gravity rules. Children are incredible sponges! Good luck!

Answer 2

Alphabet, the sound of the letters and "follow along reading". You read a "first book" while pointing at the words. Practice sounding out new words. Practice "how to spell your name, mom, dad" etc.

Those are the basics. Do it EVERY day!

Children will first start by memorizing that C A T is cat but would be confused by P A T even when they know the sound that P makes... (an example) but that's how you start.

Answer 3

I would start as early as possible....as soon as he/she starts to talk. Even just reading to him/her does a lot. I would start with the alphabet learning the letters and what they sound like then i would move on to what two letters sound like together such as ou and ea. From there i would start with small words on flash cards that sound the word out. Hope this helps and im glad you are making the effort to teach your child to read....it seems some parents either dont have the time or just dont bother these days. GREAT JOB!!!

Our school board "Thames Valley District School Board" (London, ON) has sent up a program about 20 years ago to get our kids to start reading at an early age, and contiune throughout there life...making it interesting and fun.

My son has been in school now for 2 years (SK) and it's amazing the words they learn and how they sound each word out and turn that into reading. Our teachers use the "Bubble Gum" technique. If u take the word and stretch it the word will come. We also have a program called "Snuggle Up and Read". Our children come home with a book and we read it together..show interest with them. This program is a wonderful and exciting thing. Sometimes we'll read together and at times he'll read to me....we have the whole family involved so, it's not just one person all the time...Gramma, couins and of course myself.

Growing up for myself I NEVER enjoyed reading at all and now all we do is read together each night b4 bed and again b4 school while we eat lunch...He loves reading...also, he gets to pick the books out and sometimes we end up with the same book for a week straight but thats ok!!!

Reading can be fun if we make it fun for all of us!!!

Answer 5

I would say the most improtant is to make sure they know how to write the alphabet first. They will know the letters. Then have them write a small word like ant or something. You can read easy books to him/her and point out the word and spell it together, or cut out letters and spread them out on the floor and let them pick out the letters to spell a word. Let it be fun! I hope this helped. Good luck!!

Answer 6

We first started with letter identification, then the sounds that the letters make. When we're reading stories we let our son sound out small words.

Just as my mommy brag moment: He's only 3 and he's doing a great job sounding out words!

Answer 7

Read with them! Reading should start at a very early age- when all they want to do is eat the pages! Gradually, they'll get the idea that the sounds go along with pictures and ideas, and then that the words go with the sounds.

Answer 8

It's possible to pay a lot of time and income looking for approaches to teach your kids how to learn and boost their studying skills. Is difficult to show a small kid how to see, and also alluring them to see is a challenge in itself. However it does not need to be like that as you got the help of this system https://tr.im/FX4ps , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you will train your son or daughter how to separate sounds and separate phrases in to phonemes, a vital issue whenever your kid is simply learning how to spell.
The reading process from Children Learning Reading program makes it simple for kids to see quickly and effectively, from simple phrases to sentences until they learn to read stories.

Answer 9

I really didn't "teach" my daughter other than reading to her and doing a lot of reading myself. One day after reading the same story for the bizillionth time I handed her the book and told HER to read to me. That first time most of it was just telling me what was going on in the picutres, but then she started asking about the words. She was three years old when she began to actually READ The Wizard of Oz and now at 21 she has completed Les Miserables and Notre-Dam de Paris by Victor Hugo...she read the English translations AFTER she completed reading the original French versions of both books in her Jr. year of highschool. So I pretty much let her do ALL of the reading...LOL

Answer 10

my suggestion is that play some video CD of alphabets in ur home. surely ur kid will see and then listen. playingly he will learn it. but if u ask him to sit and reasd he cannot coz he is too small. this is a gud way learning while playing..try it.u can thismethod from 1.5 years itself.
