teach my child to read.

I purchased the Your Baby Can Read and my baby seems to really like it. She brings me the flash cards and pulls up a chair for me to “drill” her. She already knows all the words from the first DVD. Any child can do this, it just takes a lot of time to review with them too.

In fact, she’d rather read out loud to me than have me read to her.

It’s pretty awesome.

She just asked me if “spit” was spelled S-P-I-T.

She just amazes me sometimes.

We’ve started working on blending sounds. It took her a bit, but she figured out “nip” on her own!

This has been such a rewarding experience for me and them. My youngest can read words and short sentences – she’s doing so well. My oldest is reading so well – she was 2nd best reader in her class! – Shameless mommy bragging ;)

Here’s a great website that the kids would enjoy – http://www.starfall.com.

We are using a great book entitled ‘Teach your child to read in 100 Easy Lessons’. This book is working very well for us and got excellent reviews on amazon. See the link:

My daughter is 5 and will soon to start kindergarten. I want her to have the advantage of being an early reader just so she can start off with that extra edge and feel confident in her academic abilities right from the get-go.

A 5 year old has a very short attention span. She squirms all over the place in my lap and is easilly distracted. I must work hard to keep her amused and tuned in thru this dry black and white text book. Also a lot of praise. The 20 minutes lesson we do each day is difficult. She sabatoges the lesson by either getting overly playful or by arguing with me. But if I shut the book and say, “fine, if you don’t want to do this today – we’ll just stop now”. She will say “nooooo! I want to do it!”. So even though she fights me, I know she really is enjoying it and it’s getting better with time.

If you don’t have lots of patience, don’t attempt this, leave it to the teachers.

I picked up some tips on this as well from my ‘Teaching Reading K-8’ class in college, for which I earned credits toward my credential. But the difference between teaching a random first grader how to read and teaching your own child to read is that somehow in the latter situation, you find a way to transmit your own passion for stories, poetry, imagination, and learning. I don’t know how it happens, but you just do. Maybe because the books you choose for your own child are so personal, so somehow a part of yourself, that it’s impossible for them not to find that in you. Kids are weird like that. And I’m not saying that the random first grader won’t see this in you as well, but … I guess your own child knows you on the inside better, and can call you on your bullsh*t for themselves better; so if you’re not into it, you can’t fake it with your own kid. I hope that makes sense.

My son is autistic and just graduated from preschool last friday. He is four years old and already he can read pages and pages of his books at a time, even with his limited vocabulary. I can’t tell you how amazing it was the first time I realized he could recognize printed words. The trick is to build on what they know. If they know the word “help”, you can teach them “helping”. If they know “can”, soon they will get “candle”. Build and build some more. They can do it. Believe in them.
