They know ABC's already and they know how to write it, the problem is how do I teach them to spell and remember the words? How do I teach them sentences? (p.s. they are kids and both are very active yet smart), but when I teach the words one by one they start gazing around...

The answer is "PHONICS". Without the pronunciation/sound out the words, you will have difficult time memorizing the words or forming the sentences.

English language is is a West Germanic language originating in England. Unlike the rest of Western European language(Latin), English language cannot be sounded out/ pronounced just like the alphabets.

The best education tool for my six years old (now 8) is "Hooked On Phonics". It starts out how to pronounce the alphabets. Your kids learn about letters and sounds, learn how to put them together to form words, and then read great stories and books.

My daughter just turn 8. She just finish reading Wizard of Oz a week ago. That is 150 pages of reading in two days.

However, this will take time. Each lesson can take up to an hour to do. You need to be patient with the kids.

If your kids like video game, this is a must get. It's called leapster.
My mother-in-law in Taiwan is addicted to this game. She is 60 years old. She learns English from here too :)

One way to teach children who's first language is not English is by using a lot of visuals. Make flash cards with pictures on them and ask them what the name of the picture is. After they have mastered that then they can write the name of the picture. You could also use these cards to help build sentences. Spelling and remembering how to spell words is a fundamental skill and will also come with age. Having the kids read a lot of "easy reader" books will also increase their vocabulary and exposure to what words look like. Leap Frog is a great learning tool that has a lot of games to encourage learning in a fun way!

It's probable to spend lots of time and income looking for ways to show your kids how to see and enhance their studying skills. Is difficult to teach a small child how to see, and actually alluring them to learn is a challenge in itself. However it doesn't have to be like that since you got assistance from the program https://tr.im/Bnq7T , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you can teach your youngster how to separate your lives looks and break phrases in to phonemes, an essential thing as soon as your child is just understanding how to spell.
The studying program from Children Learning Reading program makes it easy for children to learn easily and precisely, from easy phrases to sentences till they understand to read stories.
