Children Reading Tips

--> Initial decoding is certainly not the end of reading instruction, however it is the major stumbling block. After you guide the child past the initial decoding, you must still teach a great deal. You need a reading program introduce different groups of irregularly spelled words (such as the group that contains ar, like part, smart, bark and so on)

And you must switch emphasis from the reading of isolated words to sentence reading and sentence comprehension. To make reading the key to the discovery of meaning, you first direct the child to read a sentence, then ask questions about the sentence.

If the sentence the child has just read is We went home, you would ask questions such as "What did we do? Who went home?

This type of comprehension is simple, literal understanding, but like initial decoding, it is the simplest and most basic form that can be presented.
