We don’t want to ever frustrate children with the “mechanics,” such as drilling letter sounds to the point of tears. Remember, we want children to develop a love of reading, so focus on reading the books they enjoy over and over again. Keep the activities fun and light so kids can enjoy a quick challenge and get a boost of confidence from practicing one skill a day. While driving, give your child some 2 letter words and 3 letter words to spell (like see, look, up, go ).
Talk or play games about letter sounds for fewer than 5 minutes a day. A little practice can lead to great improvement Then blend these sounds back together (/t/ /o/ /p/ top). Next, look at short CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words (top, cat, fog and so on) and have your child break them apart into their individual sounds. If your child is just starting to read or still seems unsure, review the alphabet and letter sounds. Teachers need you on their team, practicing reading skills at home, building your child’s confidence, and giving them the much needed practice all kids require to be strong readers. Often parents fall into the thinking that “The school will teach my child everything they need to know! I’ll leave it to them.” Although it may feel better to not carry this burden, the burden will be shifted onto your child.
