PostHeaderIcon Tips For Parents Who Want Reading Help For Kids

All parents worry about how well their children are learning to read and write and will be interested in reading help for kids. The most recent research highlights ‘guided reading’ as one of the most effective ways to teach your child to read, and this is simply reading with your child and helping them when they get stuck. During guided reading an association is made between certain sounds and the words your child is reading. To speed up this process and give children valuable reading skills for life the recommended option is for children to learn to read with phonics.

The sounds that are made by particular letters and combinations of letters form the basis for learning a phonics based reading system. Once those sounds have been learnt they can then be combined to make words. In time the child can then use the blended sounds of letter combinations to read words they have not come across or do not know. This is what sets phonics reading systems apart from more traditional memory based teaching methods, and uniquely allows the child to use the sounds they have learnt to decode words they don’t know yet and work out what the word is. Phonics teaching is not just for beginners and there is eveidence that all levels of reader can benefit from learning a phonics system.
