What can I do to help my children learn to read?
assistant
Start by making sure they are surrounded by books. Make sure you have plenty of books in the home and encourage them to read as much as possible. 2 Encourage your child to ask questions about words, such as what they mean, how they are spelled, or how to pronounce them. 3 Read aloud with your child every day and use different voices for different characters. 4 Use flash cards or other visual tools to practice spelling and pronunciation. 5 Break down longer words into syllables and teach your child how to sound out each one. 6 Have fun with it! Play word association games and reward your child when they correctly guess a word. 7 If necessary, get tutoring from a certified teacher or private reading instructor.
