The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

If you want to help your child excel at reading, the best thing you can do is to make it fun. It is a double win as they learn how to read and they love the time spent with you. Reading can be incredibly fun for the whole family.

One great program that has taught many kids to read is Hooked on Phonics. This set contains everything you children need to learn to read. This program teaches the basics of letter sounds that you must learn in order to read and spell. This program works incredibly well and is very encouraging for your child. This system has games and provides ways for tracking your childs progress so you know how well they are doing. You child will feel great moving from not being able to read at all to fully reading.

Another thing you can do for your children is read to them frequently out of books that are at their reading level. Scholastic books have many books at many different reading levels to get your child interested in reading. As you read to your child more while pointing at the words you will find some of the words your child can begin to recognize at sight. This is a wonderful thing for them to learn. You can actually incorporate this even further by utilizing sight flash cards.

It is great to give your child the gift of your time but also the gift of a head start in school. With school being a bit hard to adjust to, this can be a great way to really get them a good head start on. A little time and patience from parents can help a child learn alot.
