Learn How to Help Your Child Overcome Their Difficulty Reading
Listen to my free webinar to learn about the four steps you can take now to help your child if they struggle with reading.
The Process of Reading
Teaching the alphabet first to your child may cause difficulties later.
Phonics Sounds and Blending
Children should learn the sounds and how to blend them into words first. Exception words, such as ‘the,’ ‘I,’ ‘are’, etc., are not decodable by sounding out and blending, and we just need to memorise and remember them.
The Sightword Bank and Fluent Reading
As children practise reading, their sightword bank increases. These are the words they no longer need to sound out or think about and can read at a glance. This is the most crucial step toward reading fluency, enabling children to read for pleasure or information.
