About this listen

Letters and words and sounds, oh my! Don’t panic, Mom...kick-starting your child’s reading journey is way easier than it sounds.

The idea of setting children up to be confident and fluent readers is daunting for most parents, but it doesn’t need to involve formal lessons or an in-depth understanding of the curriculum...in fact, it shouldn’t.

The best way to set your child on the path to becoming an enthusiastic, curious, and confident reader is to integrate literacy skills into your everyday life...and above all, make them fun.

In Teaching Your Child to Read, you’ll find a modern and straightforward approach to teaching your child early reading skills.

You’ll discover:

  • The number-one thing you can do to raise a confident reader with a natural love of books
  • How to recognize reading readiness in your child—and why so-called "milestones" aren’t all they’re cracked up to be
  • All the background information you need to know to understand how to scaffold your child’s development
  • Stealth strategies for taking what your child does naturally and turning it into a teachable moment (in a fun way!)
  • The real reason nursery rhymes are so important—and how you can build on the foundations you lay with them
  • Environmental print—understand how to use your new best friend!
  • Everything you need to know about teaching your child the letter sounds—and what to do with them
  • Sight words’ demystified—plus strategies to help your child recognize them
  • The most common mistakes parents make when teaching their children to read
  • A wealth of tips, activities, and games for every area of development
  • And much more.

Worrying is a natural part of being a parent. You want your kids to be confident, fluent readers, and you want them to enjoy reading...but do you have the skills to teach such a difficult skill?

Here’s a secret: You do. Set your child up for reading success without delivering a single lesson!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Audible is a very powerful medium. As a homeschool dad, finding an audiobook on teaching kids to read had me slightly skeptical. I am a believer now! Many of the same concepts my wife & I used to teach our children to read were present in this well organized training book. Listening to it was an excellent way to absorb some new stuff & take notes. I will say it clearly is a book for parents & teachers to learn the skills to teach their children, instead of an audiobook directly for the preschooler to listen to & follow along, picking up the skills to read themselves. (if that was not clear in the title or bullet points) As the author points out time & again, reading aloud is crucial in a home if the goal is literacy. Kids are always listening, even if you don’t think they understand. They also observe, so I would recommend a library of books in the home & reading those books yourself! This reinforced our family's approach to reading. The glossary was a nice touch, I also enjoyed the voice of the narrator. Great job on this one, pick this book up!

Modern approach to teaching kids reading!

Teaching children to read doesn't have to be a mammoth task that makes even the strongest parent's legs wobble.
Not all children will need this as some love books, but for many I've personally delt with the information in this book is a gold mine!

I'm going to share this with many of my friends who have younger children starting to get to the age of reading many books. Let's drive this generation to be great readers! It will help them to excel not only in school, but also in life.

Great book!

Helping your child become a confident and fluent reader is a very important part of being a parent. I was a little worried about this before, but this book has inspired and helped me a lot. It contains many hidden strategies to turn a child's natural behavior into a teachable moment. Also contains everything I need to know about teaching children letter sounds and the most common mistakes parents make when teaching children to read. The best way to become an enthusiastic, curious, and confident reader is to incorporate literacy skills into everyday life, and I feel confident in helping my child work through this important and meaningful stage of life.

It is greatly-written

This is a detailed and comprehensive book that will get your child reading independently in no time. As an educator and a mother myself, I use many of the strategies included to get my students and my own kids to love reading and to master that art quickly and easily. The writer has put together a very well researched and thorough guide and I will be recommending this to my parents, family and friends. The narrator herself lend such value to the overall work and added to its weight . I can guarantee its success if these steps are taken and practiced. Kudos to the author for having put together this well-written resource.

Comprehensive!
