Don’t rush it. Body-builders don’t train in a day – neither does a child.
And most important ofall, HAVE FUN!
Read the book WITH your child. You read the “regular” text, and he/she reads the big, red words, sort of like reading the different parts in a play.
Help your child sound out the words as needed.
Read the book several times. This helps develop the eye muscles and left-to-right reading patterns.
