Getting Equipped
A good teacher is prepared and knows their stuff. In the tabs above (Everyday Enrichments, Letter Pronunciation and Phonetic Words) I have provided you with some important information and essential tutorials. The guides are there to help you in all the punch lessons and tutorials. So, before you move on equip yourself with the information there. You need to know what you are talking about and HOW to talk it . . . . say it!
Decoding
A child needs the opportunity to discover and connect with the idea that letters make sounds and sounds make words. There are many programs that say they can teach 2 year olds to read or that your child will read in a set amount of time, often saying in just a few weeks. While this seems appealing to many, I believe there is more to teaching reading than just the mere mechanics of it all. Please take a moment to study a bit on decoding. I have provided a short, easy to read article link here: decoding. Understanding decoding will give you a great confidence in "what you are actually teaching" when you are teaching your child to read . . . did you follow that? Anyway, please take a moment to study up on it.
And really, that's more than enough homework for a busy parent. Take your time to be comfortable and know the material.
