You student has many steps on his/her way to becoming a reader. The basic building blocks are letters and letter sounds. One great (and fun) way to practice these at home is to check out Alphabet books from the library, and read them together. The key to this practice is including the letter sounds in your reading.
This is what your reading might sound like!

This is a great way to help your child to hear those sounds and remember what each letter says.
After letters and sounds are well-known, the next step is sight words. These are commonly used words that are not sounded out, they are memorized. We have learned a few already, and students are spotting them everywhere!

As you read to your child each night, see if he/she can spot any of our "secret words" in the books you are reading! Words we have learned include a, the, and, is, to, on & I.
