Teaching a toddler how to read can be tricky sometimes, but it’s possible.
I would like to start by reminding you that every child is different.
Some children are ok with being given more work to do daily, whereas there are some kids that can’t handle too much work at a go. So don’t compare your children with others.
Please don’t get me wrong, all children are capable of doing great in their learning, but some just need a little bit of encouragement.
I’m sure you know your child capability.
The most important thing is to be consistent!
So try to pay attention to what your child can handle at a time, and then plan accordingly.
Please don’t compare your child with your friends.
EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT!
So, how do we actually teach them to read.
The first thing I will suggest is to keep talking to them. Talk to them when you’re getting them ready or feeding them.
Second thing you can do is sing to them. Nursery rhymes will do the trick. Kids loves singing.
You can also read books to them and look at the pictures with them.
So, when you know they are ready introduce phonics to them. If you’re not sure how phonics work, you can watch YouTube videos on how to do it.
Please remember ever child is different, so get to know your child and what they are capable to handle at a time.
Remember, every child is different!
The key is in finding how many sounds your toddler can handle at a time. And know that’s just a starting point!
You can help your child get a head start in phonics with our books on Phonics and it’s available on Amazon!
