By Christine Evans


A recent study has shown that most of the children may be able to read at a very young age than we were made to believe. We no longer have to wait for the kids to reach 4-5 years to begin. It is said that the children can easily pick up on words and sounds which they encounter frequently. By the caregivers of young children having this knowledge for beginning readers for kindergarten; they can use it to their advantage.

A few tips that a tutor can utilize to accomplish this noble course includes; begin by using sight words. Sight words are words which a child can actually read on sight. A child can be given the sight card using sight word flash cards. Such cards can be personalized further to make them appealing to the children.

It is important for the tutor to focus more on the phonetics contained in a word rather than the letters in the words. This is beneficial as it aids in pronunciation. It also helps a child to read much faster words which they are not used to on a daily basis. This step is a thousand times more beneficial than the letters reading as it eliminates the phobia of unfamiliar wording.

The process should not be a one-time thing but rather it should be a continuous process. With time the childs letter-phonetic-word grasp will improve. With this he/she will be able to read more continuous the words. His/her understanding of the content words improve. This definitely raises confidence and interest to earn more.

The bottom line is that the book should have a story the kid will find worth reading. Gradually the kids awareness on the relationship between letter and phonetics will begin making a lot of sense. The book should also be colourful and has many graphical illustrations that relate to this story line. Examples of such books that have been recommended include:

Tales for The Very Picky Eaters is another very brilliant idea. Its not only the kids who will enjoy this literal piece. So nostalgic. James the main character is told a story by his father on the dangers of being selective with the food when served. The book is divided into chapters. It is advised that the child does one at a time during the mastery stage.
