Learning how to read is important, but the lessons do not have to be complicated. Some reading lessons can consist of the child being read to. Some lessons can consist of the child reading. Some lessons can include phonics. Some lessons can include games.
Variety in lessons keeps them from getting boring. Consistency in reading to and with the child is more important than following the same lesson structure every time.
Children who are learning to read can be taught phonemic awareness by sounding out words. There are two ways to do this. Children can sound out words by decoding them or reading them. They can also sound out words orally. We frequently play games that involve sounding out words.
In this short video, we demonstrate a short reading lesson.
First, we practice sounding out words.
Second, we practice letter familiarity.
Third, we discuss the pictures.
Fourth, we look at the words.
A more in-depth reading lesson would include a phonics lesson, recitation of the sounds and words in the lesson, and copy work in addition to the above steps.
The child's voice in these videos belongs to my child who turned five in August.
