Teaching your child to read can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life! Here we share 10 tips on how to teach a child to read, from pre-readers all the way to school-age children!
Once your child is about 2 or 3-years of age, begin asking questions before, during, and after reading the book. Show your child the cover of the book and ask him what he thinks the story is going to be about (predicting). While reading, ask him what he thinks is going to happen in the story or why he thinks a character made a particular choice (inferring). If a character is depicting a strong emotion, identify that emotion and ask your child if he has ever felt that way (connecting). At the end of the book, ask if his prediction(s) came true. Afterwards, ask him to tell you what he remembered happening in the book (summarizing).

When children classify a book into a certain genre, they have to first summarize the book in their head and recall details. Then they have to use that information to decide which type of genre that particular books fits into. Finally, your child will be recalling details from other books in the same genre, making connections between the two. This simple activity that might take 5-10 seconds of your time after reading a book but it certainly packs a punch of thought and processing in that young brain!

Try the Bob books starting with the blue box 1. it will get her reading. my boys taught themselves to read with the bob books. They learned the letters from leap frog and sight words from learn the sight words DVDs then they just taught themselves to read using bob books. After the blue box we went to the sight words purple box. Then level 2 yellow box then level 3 red box. They cost about $10.00 each. Now they read level 1 books from the library and other series books. They get 1 piece of candy for each book they read so they come to me to read a book. Sometimes they will read 3 or 5 books in a day so they can have a piece of small candy for each.
LOVE your post! You have captured so many important Pre-reading skills. I am passionate about early literacy, and it makes me so sad when I hear parents tell me their baby/ child/ toddler etc is too young for books. May be too young to learn to read, but NEVER too young for books, in my opinion :)Thanks for the informative summary!Alexis
I home schooled all my kids and we used Sing, Spell, Read, Write to teach them to read. They have workbooks for pre-school age too. My kids loved it and so did I. Reading came very easy to them and I know it was this curriculum . I would use it all over again.
Sorry, but I feel the need to brag here, so please forgive me. My little one is 4 years old and almost at 4th grade reading level. We are currently reading chapter books and after each chapter she is ask qustions about the chapter and she always gets it right.
This is indeed a wonderful post! I have a 14 month old who loves his books. I will be socking this article away for frequent reference. I will note, however, I found the odd reference about how men are not prone to reading very strange indeed. Perhaps I am just unusually fortunate in this respect, but so many of the men in my life adore reading, that it struck me as quite false. I am, in fact, married to a male librarian who loves to read and is beyond thrilled that our little guy has begun grabbing books and bringing them over for him to read. But that assertion aside, an excellent article. Thank you!
May I ask if you would be willing to review our reading program. It is called The Reading Lesson. I will be happy to send you a copy. It the best there is. I should know. My mom who is the author taught me to read with it many years ago. And now thousands of people use it. In fact it is number 1 best selling reading book in England, and number two in the US.
Making reading fun and exciting is the best way for children to want to learn to read. They will want to work at it and consider it a fun activity.

After going over a number of the blog articles on your web page,I really like your technique of blogging. I book marked it to my bookmark site list and will be checking backsoon. Please visit my website as well and tell me your opinion.
It is very important that parents especially the mother has the initiative to be so attached with the needs of her kid. At an early age it is very important to enhance their mind to many possibilities. Reading them a book at an early age can help them analyze things, so even if they cannot still read when they reach the certain age where they should learn to read it is easy for them to get things clearly.
I have a 7 year old with autism. He is in public school autism class (first grade). When he was a toddler all he wanted to do was listen to books. Now I cannot sit him down. He literally fights me and my 3 year old (who is homeschooling) makes it harder because she gets jealous and throws fits during the time I try to make him sit down and look at a book. He is nowhere near reading now.
First of all, I would encourage you to find something that he ENJOYS reading. You might look up some lists online for books for teenage boys. Or perhaps find some books that have been made into movies and encourage him to read the book and then watch the movie. Then you can talk about the differences between the two (which is a good comprehension exercise). I would also encourage you to find some books on tape that he can listen to. My husband really enjoys these and it is easier for him to comprehend when listening rather than when reading. Hope that helps!
If you want children to read (and have fun doing it), just buy them an adventure or video game. Text adventure games, visual novels, choose-your-own-adventure gamebooks etc. have copious quantities of reading.
It is good to know that helping children to understand different genres of books can help them read better. It would be helpful to show them the difference between nonfiction and make-believe. Something else that I have heard to be effective is to make sure the child knows what is going on in the book by using pictures and small discussions.
Excellent post! Very complete and informative! I am so happy that you mentioned the pre-reading skills that are necessary before you even attempt to teach your child to read, and how it all starts with reading every day to your child and leading by example. Also, I love that you recommended the systematic phonics approach for teaching children to read! I will definitely check your recommended reading program. Did you use it yourself?

Dr. John N. Morris is the director of social and health policy research at the Harvard-affiliated Institute for Aging Research. He believes there are three main guidelines you should follow when training your mind:
These days many people rarely do just one thing at a time: Have you ever watched TV while browsing social media, emailed someone while getting your morning coffee, or read a book while listening to music?
So, if you want to train your brain so you can produce more work at a higher standard, you need to condition your mind to do one thing at a time. Slow down and practice focusing 100% on the task at hand.
There are many different brain training apps on the market, many of which are free. Here are some free brain training apps that have been proven to strengthen neural pathways and enhance your cognitive abilities:
