| Learning to Read Beyond Books |
Teaching children to read can be taxing and time consuming. We often look to books aimed at first learners or visual programs that teach children the letters of the alphabet while playing games, singing songs and the like. But words are everywhere, and learning can be everywhere too. Kids aren’t just learning how to communicate, they are learning about the entire world around them. Words and language are everywhere, they help build the world around us and helping kids learn to read through pointing out the language in everything is important to their overall development.
When you’re out with your kids, try pointing out signs in stores or on the road when you’re stopped in traffic. Sound out words for them, ask them what letters they see. While at the supermarket, ask your children to point out the items you usually buy, have them sound out the words and point out the letters on the box. Not only is this a great way to build a relationship with your child, but this helps your child build a better relationship with the world around them. Once they learn to spot letters, words, and language everywhere, the more they will pick up on speaking and reading skills on their own.
