Leo Learns To Read : A Teach Your Child To Read Story

LEO LEARNS TO READ - This storybook helps children learn the fundamental keys to reading, and gives children the exciting gift, that they are "Reading to Learn." Some keys when teaching children to read are: Read a book to children every day; - Use books with pictures, short sentences and repetitious words; - Show children how to read a book (top to bottom, left to right and front to back); - When children can say a word, show them the written word; - When labeling objects, or showing children the written word, make the word at least 2 inches high, and in clear black text; - Label as many objects in your home with the name of that object (at least 2 inches high bold lettering); - Start with alphabet recognition and showing children the lower case letter sounds (phonics); - Show whole words (word recognition); - Use alphabet nouns (naming words), then verbs (action words) and act them out; - Always ask questions during the story, such as, "What do you think will happen next?" (this gets children thinking and using their imagination); - Keep children actively involved in the story; - Point out each letter when showing children the written word; - Play word games; - match words to objects; - have children read a story from pictures in the book; - start an alphabet writing book; - Point out words, whenever and wherever you are in the community. Most of these fundamental keys are in the story "Leo Learns To Read."
