Steps On How To Teach Reading To Kids

By Annabelle Holman


Children who fancy education at an early age always perform well in their junior and senior years in school. Once you know how to teach reading to kids, you will be able to make them grasp the knowledge gained through written language. Below are great ideas that can help you teach your kid how to read and do better in their studies in the childhood, junior and senior years in school.

Create a study plan that is suitable for your child. Usually, you will want to help your child through the study process and so the best time to create a study routine would be every night. You can have your son or daughter read a section of children books for some minutes. Take note of their progress each day. Ask them if they have a problem studying a section of the book you give them and then help them read that part.

The local library could be a great source where you can find better reading materials that can help our child learn how to read as well as becoming a regular reader. When you are at the library, take the child to the children book section and allow him or her to pick a book or books they would find interesting to read. If you are a registered member with the library, you can borrow these books and have your child use them for reading over the weekend.

There are times when a child reads best when they are on their own. In a case like this, the best thing you can do to make sure they are reading comfortably is to put them in an environment suitable for studies. You need to make sure that the environment is safe, free from distractions, free from unnecessary noise and suitable for studies.

Make the session interesting by taking it in turns. Search for a story from an easy to read children story book and read a page or two or a few paragraphs aloud. You should start the reading and have your child listen to you to set a suitable environment for the reading. Once you are done reading that set of paragraph from the book, have your child read the same text to you.

Listening to your child read is important because you can identify where they make mistakes in the study. There are instances where your child will not be able to read some words because they are difficult to master. Once you notice this, help them to read and pronounce the word before allowing them to proceed with their reading.

Teach the child appropriate language patterns. You need to keep in mind that the way a child will read some words will not be the way they ought to read them. Teaching them on language pattern and pronunciation will help them a great deal to pronounce words correctly.

Have your child read comprehensions before going to sleep ad every morning before they go to school. Spending 20 minutes of your time before and after work to help your child read would be great. Have them read stories of their favorite from their favorite children book.
