More for Parents! Here are some teaching tips for you!
Your beginning reader needs to hear and say the individual sounds in words to help them read words fluently.
As your child sounds out words, it is important that they say the letter sound, not the letter name.
Your child needs to hear and say each individual sound in the word. This is known as segmenting.
Once your childs learns to read consonant-vowel-consonant or CVC words they can practice with bigger words.
Sounding out using segmenting and blending - these are great building blocks for reading that you and your child can practice together anytime, anywhere!
