Teaching Your Child to Read
Learning to speak comes naturally to a child.
Repeated exposure to sounds and speech from birth
sets the stage for a child to naturally learn spoken
language; however, reading doesn't come as naturally,
which makes often, and early exposure to books
highly beneficial. The process of learning to read is
radically different from the process of learning to
speak. English is an alphabetic language, using
letters in writing to relate to sounds in the spoken
language. Because of this, pre-literacy children need
to develop an understanding of the individual
sounds in the words, and this is not a simple process.
English involves a complex system where, often, the
same letter can have more than one sound.
