Favorite way to teach to read


Recommended Posts

If you want to use real books then I suggest the pamphlet Homestart in Reading by Ruth Beechick.  http://www.amazon.com/Home-Start-Reading-Grades-K-3/dp/0940319004/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432405363&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=homestart+in+reading+beechick   She covers when a child is ready to read and it has a handy chart so you don't miss anything.

 

If you want to use a prepackaged curriculum then I suggest Phonics Pathways because it's incredibly simple to use and efficient. http://www.amazon.com/Phonics-Pathways-Reading-Perfect-Spelling/dp/1118022432/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432405486&sr=8-1&keywords=Phonics+Pathways I didn't do the games.  I strongly recommend the pyramid book that goes with it.  http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Pathways-Exercises-Improve-Fluency/dp/0787992895/ref=pd_bxgy_14_text_y

 

Note: Don't teach your child letter names first.  It's completely unnecessary, inefficient and problematic for some kids. Teach them letter sounds first.

At our house, two of my 3 children insisted on learning to read Henry and Mudge. So we started with the Puppy Mudge books and combined them with Explode the Code. It may not be the most common way to learn to read but it worked. BTW my slowest reader's reading really took of when he started playing Mind Craft on line. There was a definite incentive to read then.
