Teach Your Child to Read at Home - Step-by-Step Phonics Lessons for Ages 4 to 9: Get Ready for Kindergarten, Help a Struggling or Behind Reader Catch Up, Even With ADHD, and Spot the Signs of Dyslexia #1010299

Your child can sing the alphabet, loves bedtime stories, and maybe even "reads" a favorite book from memory. But put an unfamiliar page in front of them and they guess from the pictures, stall on short words, or melt down. The teacher says to keep reading together every night. You already do, and it isn't working. Teach Your Child to Read at Home is a clear, parent-run phonics plan for children about 4 to 9, whether you want to get a preschooler ready for kindergarten, help a first grader who is behind, or finally reach an eight-year-old who still can't read. No teaching background, no expensive program: just a short daily lesson, a stack of index cards, and a clear map of what to teach next. This isn't a list of reading tips, a rigid script of a hundred-plus lessons, or a book about the reading wars. It shows you how to find exactly where your child is, teach the next step one pattern at a time, and tell a normal lag from the signs of dyslexia that deserve an evaluation. It works for school families and homeschool families alike, and for kids who can't sit still. Inside, you'll learn: You don't need to be a teacher to teach your child to read.
