Preface

This book is a resource for parents and caregivers of a child learning to read.

It contains ideas for activities to share with a child as well as outlining the basic phonics and comprehension skills needed in the early years of learning to read.

The KEY ingredients for effective early reading instruction are:

Step by step instruction in. . . .

Phonemic or sound awareness

Knowledge of letter sound relationships known as phonics

Reading easy texts where words can be sounded out and are part of a young child’s vocabulary.

The focus is on all three.

The skills taught in the first three years of formal schooling are presented. Children develop these skills at their own pace. It is particularly beneficial if you work patiently with your child and consolidate their progress step by step.

The book also includes over 20 TRADITIONAL STORIES that develop phrased and fluent reading. These stories also contribute to a child’s general knowledge and self development. They are stories that have stood the test of time. Their message is timeless.

A Comprehension Skills Guide outlines the skills your child must develop. Three Reading Behaviour Checklists help you measure your child’s progress.
