Description
The premise of Teach Early Reading is that by using phonics and stages of child development, young children can become very good readers before they are old enough to go to school. The methods most schools use to teach reading fit the more mature minds and developmental stages of six and seven-year-old children. However, by the time children enter first grade, 80-90% of their brains have already developed.Teach Early Reading explains how you can make phonics understandable and usable for younger children. It also explains four developmental stages that span the time from when a child is crawling until around six or seven years old. You can teach children to read when younger if you teach using methods that match the way their brains work during these four stages of child development. Very young children are also designed to learn by watching, copying, and having a very close relationship with the person from whom they are learning. This close relationship is essential for a young child's growth, development, and learning. Very young children learn best through a trusting relationship with someone with whom the child spends many hours exploring the world of letters, words, and books together.Though geared towards helping children develop quality reading skills while young, the phonics concepts and teaching principles in Teach Early Reading can also be used to teach older children who are having difficulties learning through more traditional methods.By using phonics and teaching young children according to how their brains work during different stages of growth and development, you can give your child a great head start and a sense of success and accomplishment. It requires time and commitment, but you can help your child develop quality reading skills for a lifetime.
