teach a child to read


1. Read a lot to your child

Nothing like reading to a child to encourage him to read and make him interested in learning to read. If you read to your child and you get him to be passionate about what you are reading, he will immediately become curious about learning to read more and more stories for himself. And reading a lot means reading every day since your child is a baby. Of course, at first, you should use stories with lots of colorful illustrations.

2. Ask him constantly about what you are reading to him

Even if he is a baby, and you think that he will not understand ... of course he does! Help him improve his reading comprehension by constantly asking about what you are reading. In this way, he will reconsider the story and find it much more attractive. You will discover, for example, that in all stories there is a beginning, a middle plot (middle), and an end (denouement). This will help you to structure what you read more easily later.

3. You

read a lot The example is basic to encourage children to read. If your child sees that you get excited about a book, that you enjoy reading, he will be curious to discover why it is so interesting. Read a lot and have your child see you read.

4. Teach him letters beyond books

You can learn to read not only through books. The best learning comes from the world around us. Take advantage when you go shopping at the supermarket, or every time you see a store sign. Identify the letters and show him what it says. For example, if you are buying apples, show him the sign where it says 'apples'. Start with the letters: 'Look, the M for apple.' Look for something that also has that letter: 'Look, the M for apple is also here, in peach' ...

5. Teach word families

Children are very good at grouping. You can take the opportunity to teach words and all those that are part of their word family. For example, if you teach him to read the word 'Flower', you can take the opportunity to teach him the words 'Vase', 'Florido' ...

Singing also helps children to read

6. Use fun tools

Poetry or songs are good resources. Children learn much better through play. They really like songs, because it invites them to dance while they learn, or rhyming poetry, which is usually short and fun. Nothing like a good song to teach them the letters of the alphabet or a funny poem to teach them to read the days of the week.

7. Use games or hobbies

There are many types of games to teach children to read. Hobbies where they must match a letter with the rest of the word with the help of a drawing ... You can create your own games for your child, cutting drawings of food or objects from commercial catalogs, for example, and asking them to link each object with its name on it.

8. Don't forget the phonemes

One thing is the graphic letter and another is the phoneme, how the letter sounds. Teach them how to pronounce each letter of the alphabet. Thus, the 'M' will not be 'me', but 'mmmm'. By matching this letter to the rest, your child will know not to pronounce 'Emearco', but rather 'Mmmmarco'.

9. Teach sounds by words together

Well, once your child knows how to recognize the letters of the alphabet and the phoneme of each of them, it will be time to put them together in words. Practice and practice with all the words of the story that you choose. Point to each word and ask him to try to figure out what it would be like. You can help him, but let him try first.

10. Let me memorize a few words

Memorizing a few words will serve as a guide for matching letters and sounds. If he memorizes his name, the name of his father and mother, and some basic word like 'hello', 'house', 'mom', you will be offering him a reference so that he can make his own equivalences and try to 'decipher' that 'new' word that I've never tried to read before.

Teach children to swim in 7 steps

 Swimming is one of the best sports for children. Not only does it represent a very useful training that reduces the risk of drowning, but it also contributes to expanding their lung capacity, promotes oxygenation, and stimulates children's psychomotor development. In addition, it improves the coordination of movements, strengthens the muscles, and favors their ability to move. And if that wasn't enough, it is an excellent exercise to relax children, while helping them to sleep better and get more rest. However, many times parents wait until their children are older to start them swimming. However, the truth is that the younger they are, the faster they will learn to swim. This is because they still retain the apnea and swim reflex, an involuntary response from when they were in the amniotic fluid inside their mother's uterus, which will allow them to function more easily in water. Another great advantage of teaching them while they are young is that they will present less ...

SIGNS THAT YOUR CHILD IS READY TO LEARN TO READ

 Learning to read is not so much a question of age but of maturity. Therefore, not all children are prepared at the same age. When it is, progress will be very rapid. At what age should children begin to read and write? Our legislation says that in Primary, that is, at 6 years. That does not mean that before they cannot know the bases of it. In fact, both the traditional method - which at 3 years old begins with graphomotor skills to practice writing movements - as well as the global and constructivist method - which teaches words and texts from the age of 3 - work on this subject in Preschool. The Montessori method insists that learning to read and write is an ongoing process that takes place in parallel with brain development. Children go through sensitive periods that make them very reactive to certain teachings. Taking advantage of these sensitive periods that occur between the ages of 3 and 5 makes the child learn more easily, more effectively, and with greater motivation. Ext...

Teaching Reading Strategies, School and Educational Psychology

 Reading strategies are techniques or methods that readers use to acquire information, or procedures or activities chosen to facilitate the process of reading comprehension. They are flexible plans adapted to different situations that vary according to the text to be read and the approach previously elaborated by the reader to facilitate their understanding (Duffy & cols., 1987; Brown, 1994; Pellegrini, 1996; Kopke, 2001).  Duke and Pearson (2002) identified six types of reading strategies that research has suggested as aids in the comprehension process, namely: prediction, thinking out loud, text structure, visual representation of the text, summary, and questioning. The prediction implies anticipate, predict facts or text content using existing knowledge to facilitate understanding. Thinking out loud is when the reader verbalizes his thought while reading. Improvement in students' understanding has been demonstrated when they themselves dedicate themselves to this practi...
