Learning how to read can be an awesome experience! It should not be boring. It should not be dull. It should be something we all look forward to doing. Right? Do you remember when you were learning how to read? Fortunately, I had a family member, a mother, that taught me how to read by reading to me. She let me follow along with my fingers as she read each word out loud to me.
In our elementary school, all of the neighborhood kids were taught the alphabet, how to print the letters, and how to pronounce each letter. We were also taught how to form blends and syllables. We used rhyming games as one way to learn how to expand our vocabulary. Picture books made it much easier and much more fun than just looking at the words. Then once we learned a few words, we could actually use those words to learn about other fun things. That is where reading to learn begins.
