how to improve my child's reading?

i agree, read with your child. my family likes to find the randomest crazy little kids books ofr my little cousin (like the boy who ended a war by peeing...lol). he's only four but he already loves reading just because of the books we read with him. it makes it fun for him.

My first child used Frontline Phonics in Kindergarden and was reading Chapter Books, like Goosebumps, Pokemon, in 1st Grade.

My second has some Speech Impediments that are hindering his Phonics and with the same approach as my first, he is slightly below level in Reading. Sight Words are his helper; we work on them daily - even weekends - his reading is improving just slower.

Each child is different and has different needs. I find that knowing how they learn (visual, hands on, verbal,...) has been key to helping my kids with school.

I recently ordered a reading kit from ..:: See Me Read ™ ::... It's a set that uses personal photos of my daughter and her familiar items and makes them into books and flashcards so she can see her own stuff next to the actual words. I've just started using it and my daughter loves looking at the words and pictures of herself and the items. Apparently the woman who started the company was able to teach her son to read at age 3 using this idea. It's not nearly as expensive as Hooked on Phonics, so I thought it worth a try. Check it out!
