Decoding text is an important part of comprehension. That means asking a child to read a sentence without any visual cues and then asking them what it said. Offering several similar pictures to match a sentence allows readers to test actual comprehension of the text.
One of the earliest steps in reading is recognizing the sounds that go into a word. Often this is achieved by tapping out each letter sound in a word. Work with your child to sound out each letter below on its own. Then encourage them to blend all three sounds together to form a word.
Encourage your child to look at two rhyming words to figure out what is the same and what is different. Then jump into creating a new rhyme by changing a single letter at the beginning of each word.
