Preschool and Kindergarten Learning How to Read Parent Curriculum Suggestions
Learning how to read is hard work, it does not happen overnight, and it involves effort on your part and your child. Most children start to read between the ages of three and five years old. When they start to read; words and letters look like a foreign language full of lines and squiggles. Trying to explain to your child how these lines and squiggles make letters and patterns is harder than it looks. Therefore, we would like to recommend to parents with beginning readers some good beginning reading books. These books are designed specifically for your child that has never read before. These books break short letter words down phonetically which teaches your child the process needed to sound out and pronounce words. They also utilize cute, stories that your child will love to hear. Most of these sets are available at most Target and Walmart store locations and on Amazon.com.

This is my favorite beginning reading book. These books will teach your child the basics of sounding out words and with repetition your child will finish their first book. Also, if you complete the full set, your child will have read words from every letter of the alphabet, except “Q”.
