My Daughter Is Going Into Kindergarten And I Want To Teach Her How To Read?
Everyone knows Dr. Seuss can kick start any kindergartner into reading and feeling good about doing so independently.
But it is the time cuddled in your arms, the time you and she are spending together as your daughter “reads” that will inspire her most to learn to read.
Make it enjoyable for her, get something with lotsa pictures animation and cartoons andanimals, which will make her read
I suggest taking her to the library and making a special mother- daughter day out of it. You can got out to lunch and spend the day together and then when you get to the library, allow her plenty of time to browse and pick out books that look interesting to her. And let her pick out as many as she wants. From then on, I think patience is the key. I must have made my parents read to me until their eyes were falling out, but the more they read to me the more I realized that the stories were more than pictures- they were words that could be followed and read on a page. Soon your daughter will realize that too and start to recognize simple words. I think the most important thing is to make it fun and if you do that you’ll also have memories you can cherish for years to come. Good luck to you!
What do you want her to be, bored out of her mind. What do you think she’ll do while everyone else is learning. Let her be a kid and just have fun. Once she starts school it will never end until she graduates. Just enjoy the time you have left with her before she starts, your time is limited go and take her to fun places, do activities that are fun but my heck there is plenty of time for that once she starts school.
go for it! my parents (and my preschools) taught me to read by 3-ish (possibly even by 2? don’t remember). it gives kids a huge head start, and a lot of confidence before going to school. i was an avid reader my whole childhood, and i know the early reading was a major reason why.
If she sees you reading regularly, then she learns that reading is a natural and important part of a person’s daily life. Set aside time for you to be reading a book, a magazine, etc. for relaxation time, with the TV off. Then, also set aside time in which you read to her on a daily basis. Make it a quiet, snuggly time without any rush. She’ll associate reading with comfort and love. Read her favorite stories over and over to her, and encourage her to start reading a word or two from the story as you are reading it to her, once she gets to know it. She’ll start to recognize words that happen a lot. Then have her look for words she knows where ever you go that has print around (e.g. the store), and praise her for finding them. Sing and say the alphabet with her, pick a couple of letters to focus on for the week, and find it as much as you can. Say the name and the sound(s) the letter makes. Have fun!
start by learning the alphabet first =P and if she knows that then try to teach basic sounds of the letters
