my child in grade 1 how can me learn him to read?

Answer 1

Hooked on Phonics is great!
You can usually find it for a great price on eBay too...

Answer 2

how did you learn to read, i think its best if you teach him how you were taught first,FORGET ABOUT WHAT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE SAYING ,ITS YOUR CHILD TEACH HIM WHAT U KNOW FIRST EVEN IF YOU GRAMMAR ISNT UP TO SCRATCH, there are many families from diffrent backgrounds whose english isnt good but the kids well theyre english are amongst the most highest achievers in the world....anyway after you teach your kid what u know ....go to your local library and get books out for grade 1ers and slowly spell them out and read them to him and try and get him to do the same, the best way is through a favorite toy e.g mayeb he likes motorbikes, show him a motorbike , make a noise and then say the word, or even better buy a motor bike (not a real one a toy) and try and teach him that way...he is more likely to remember the word through a picture or image , remembering words can be tough and boring but connecting that word with a picture that is fun will always be remembered......goodluck.....i hope all is well

Answer 3

Go get some flash cards, with letters, numbers, and small words on them. He will learn by repitition what the different symbols mean. You have to learn sounds of letters before you can read. When you are out and about say different words, and point out different items, then spell that for him. It takes a lot of patience to teach someone something, and only try for 15 minutes at a time. That is about how long their attention span is.

Answer 4

I am guessing from the way your question is put that English is not your first language. This makes helping your child a little harder than if you were confident in Engish.

I suggest taking your child to the public library, and letting him choose simple picture books to bring home and read with you. The pictures will help him work out the meaning of the words, even if you are not able to explain them. If your mother tongue uses the same alphabet as English, help him with the sounds of the letters.

I recommend that you try to access a programme for adult learners, so that you are able to keep up with his progress at reading and writing. This will make it possible for you to help with homework as he gets older, and help keep you involved in his life. Also it will benefit you to be be more secure in reading and writing in English (I am assuming you are in the US).

Good luck.

Answer 5

Maybe you could learn to speak first! Then teach your child the basics beginning with his alphabet, and the sound each letter makes, but of course this is something you have to know in order to teach, so if you are not fluent hire a tutor a couple of times a week.And read to him, read to him a lot!

Answer 6

You should probably learn to write properly yourself before you teach your Grade 1 how to read. Leave it to the teachers for now and ask the teacher for any advice or tips

Answer 7

I hope he went to head start and kindergarten, because that's where it starts, My 5 year old twins are learning words in K now and are doing great. You must read to your child daily and help them with their homework in learning sounds and putting them together with words and pictures. You must learn to work with his teaches also. He must know how to read and write the alphabet and know the sounds of the letters in order to put them into words. You should have a talk with his teacher who could best tell you how to help him!

Answer 8

start with vowels first- A, E, I, O, U. so for the 1st 2 days, teach him how to pronounce the letter A. make a visual presentation in a manila paper. then say - A says "ah".. then show him pictures of things whose names start with the letter A. so it will go like - A says "ah" , apple- "ah".

do this to the 4 vowels too, alot 2 days for each vowel for better familiarization.

then proceed to the consonants.
start with B.. so it should go like B says "ba", boat- "ba"

this should be done for abt 2 days also. concentrate on one consonant only. so if you're teaching him the letter B on a monday, this should push through like, up to tues. Then on the 3rd day, pair off the letter B with the other vowel sounds. so it would be like B and A says "ba", B and E says "be", B and I says "bi", B and O says "bo, B and U says "buh"

then move on to creating 3 letter words the following week. like BAT, BED, BIB, BON, BUS...

i guarantee you, this works. Been doing this to my kids, they all learn how to read by age 4.

This will really take some of your time, since you have to make visuals and post them on walls, but believe me, it's worth it. my daughter was "Best in Reading" during her nursery yr.

Answer 9

find books that child that is interested in and read book over and over again until child can read from heart, they get really excited when they feel they can read. At the same time you are educating them to recognize letters and words.
good luck

Answer 10

First of all, you have to learn to read and write properly. How can I teach my child to read? Practice, short words, like dog, cow, bird, and others. Read everyday.

Answer 11

Go to the book shop or library, there are plenty of good books on this subject.

Teaching someone else a subject is very good for your own understanding of it, it makes you get your head around it.

Don't be put off by nasty remarks that some have written.

Good luck!!
