If you have worked with me using my five secrets of child literacy, your child can now recognize every sound of the alphabet. You have played the games:


?Let?s see who can find ?a?.?


?I wonder where ?z? is hiding.?


You have walked along alphabet roads, zoomed your sports car around Formula One alphabet circuits and taken ?y? and ?p? for a ride in the pram with teddy and a doll. Alphabet letters are fun, they are friends.


Now we approach the magic of those letters. They make words, which make stories.


Begin sounding out the words of your alphabet chart.: ?a? (slither) ?n? (slither) ?t? then say the word ant. Then in the same way, b..e..d, c.a..t, d..o..g Cheap Hockey Jerseys , e..l..f, f..r..o..g, g..i..f..t, h..a..t, i..n..k, j..u..g, k..i..d, l..o..g, m..u..m Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys , n..e..s..t, o..x, p..i..g, qu..i..l..t, r..e..d, s..a..d, t..o..p, u..p, v..a..n Cheap NHL Jerseys Online , w..a..g..o..n, f..o..x, y..a..k, z..e..b..r..a.


If your new reader finds it difficult to slither across a word, set the letters out (written on postcards in red) on the floor, then slither across together, taking care nobody falls!


Now try:


j..i..g, n..o..t, s..i..t Cheap NHL Jerseys Free Shipping , c..a..b, h..o..t, s..a..t, f..a..t, r..a..t, f..l..a..p, c..o..l..d, f..l..a..g, c..r..a..m Cheap NHL Jerseys Wholesale , s..t..e..p, t..r..a..p , and any others you can think up. At this stage the words should not have ?e? on the end as in page or line and nor should they have a final ?y? as in happy, silly, funny. These words come soon.


Slithering is especially important, it is the way your child will read for the rest of his life. Start the habit young and he will do it automatically and won?t ever be tempted to guess.


The complementary skill of comprehension.


If you want to hand your child the very golden gift of comprehension (understanding what he reads) as well as the skill of reading, simply laugh at the silly stories. Joke about the hen running fast, the frog hopping, the ten frogs in a van. Bring the stories to life Cheap NHL Jerseys China , and by doing this your little reader will understand that a collection of words has a meaning, it tells you something. Above all, encourage your child to draw the pictures of these funny stories.


You will bless these early comprehension exercises when your son or daughter is doing final Secondary School exams or is working through the challenging test questions of a degree.


Remember, reading must be a game.


?You read one word I?ll read the next.?


?Let?s sit in the garden and read to each other.?


Write the words on cards as suggested above, and walk along a word road to the beach or the fairground or to some shopping. This way, not only will you be teaching your child reading and comprehension, you will also be developing his imagination ready for the stories he will have to dream up at school by age seven.


I have mentioned previously that you are your child?s finest mentor, but only if you keep it simple, non demanding and happy. As you progress you will not only achieve the objective of teaching your child to read Cheap NHL Jerseys , comprehend and imagine, but your relationship with that child will develop, grow and deepen as you laugh together and enjoy this time.


As this closeness is established you will identify and evaluate the manner in which your child learns, this awareness will stand you both in good stead throughout his education. Children learn differently, even within a family. There is the fast learner, the slow, deep thinker, the sideways learner ( our little lateral thinker), the average plodder Cheap Jerseys Online , the prodigy and combinations of two or all. There is no right or wrong way, no good learner or poor learner, they are simply different. They must never be compared or labelled. Every child must be allowed to learn and develop in the way his brain has been programmed and so, in order to maximize your child?s potential, he must be permitted to learn in his own way.
