How do i improve the English reading of my 5 yrs old son?

Question

His kindergarden school started reading with flash cards and not with spellings and sounds. Now he is going to take admission in level 1 but unable to develop his reading skills through sounds.

Answer 1

There are somethings that you should realize! Not all children learn to read through phonics. But that said you should read to him and have him read to you. I don't usually recommend having children watch TV but watching sesame street wouldn't hurt. Just make sure that you watch it with him. You can help him better if you do. Don't worry if he can't read yet it takes some children a little longer especially if he was born near the end of the year and the other children were born at the beginning. A few months does make a difference at this age. I've worked in schools and a lot of first graders who couldn't read at the beginning of school were reading better by the end of the year than some that came in reading. Children learn at their own pace, don't let your son's teachers forget that.

Read with your son every day even if only for a few minutes. He will soon be asking for his favorite stories. The more you read together, the easier time he will have understanding the "mechanics" of the English language. If you are concerned about establishing a phonics based reading system, you can pick up extra learning materials from a local teachers supply store. Someone there can help you find age and level appropriate phonics materials that can be used at home to supplement his classroom learning. If you believe that your child is not keeping up with others at his grade level, be sure to raise those concerns with his teacher at school. There may be extra help available if you ask for it.

You could say that the mouth doesn't quite connect to the opening from which babies are supposed to come out. The doctor detected that there was something wrong with the baby passage, so he had to cut you open so the baby could come out safely. I've heard an answer to "Mommy, where do babies come from?" explained like this: When a man and a woman are in love, they have this special hug, which the angels will see. And so they send a baby to the mommy's tummy to grow and keep safe before it's strong enough to come out into the world." Other than that, I don't think it should be a taboo to start teaching your 5 year old the anatomy of the male and female bodies, what functions have those body parts, and why we hide certain parts of our bodies. At this stage, your son's "hormones" haven't quite kicked in, so if he's curious about such thing, it's purely inquisitive, not something he will use to harm others. Teach him how to use the simplified sex ed you've head started him with to guard himself, e.g. by making the point that private parts are not to be trespassed by others, and if someone does then you should tell a responsible adult. It may feel uncomfortable at first, and probably your parents didn't do this for you. But trust me, you are doing yourself and your son a favor by establishing a culture of openness. (Do remember that once he hits the pre-teens it may no longer be appropriate for him to discuss sex too openly with you, so prepare the way for his dad or your male partner to take over.) Someday, when he has questions about sexuality, he knows he can come with them to a place he trusts (you!) and get gracious guidance. On the contrary, if you don't get over this awkwardness and feel that you have to protect your son from sexual awareness, he will subconsciously learn that it is a taboo to talk about sex with you. Someday he might learn through trial and error from obscure myths passed from "friends", or make little mistakes that grew monstrous simply because he never had the face to tell you while the problem was manageable. Don't let this pattern develop in your family. Make a point early on in the family that this family is a safe place to discuss every single thing that real life will throw in your face, including sex. I'd say don't worry too much about how to do it right. Trust your instincts.

Buy him some of those toddler books with very simple words and let him read to you. When he stumbles, help him sound out the words. My younger brother had this problem as a child and this is what my mother did. It worked wonders.

Answer 5

It's possible to pay a lot of time and income trying to find ways to teach your children how to learn and boost their reading skills. Is hard to teach a small child how to see, and even engaging them to learn is a challenge in itself. Nonetheless it doesn't have to be this way as you got assistance from this program https://tr.im/CRHnb , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you may train your son or daughter how to split up appears and break phrases in to phonemes, a vital thing whenever your child is merely understanding how to spell.
The examining system from Children Learning Reading program makes it easy for children to learn quickly and properly, from easy words to sentences until they learn to see stories.
