This energetic game is particularly fabulous for children who learn best when they are
up and active.
TIP #1: FOCUS ON ONE SOUND AT A TIME
Certain sounds like /s/, /m/, /f/ are the great sounds to start with. the sounds is distinct, and
can be exaggerated easily. “please pass the mmmmmmmoney.” “look! There’s a ssssssssnake!”
“you have fffffive markers on the table.” Its also easy to describe how to make the sound with
your mouth. “close your mouth and lips to make the sound. Now put your hand on your throat.
Do you feel the vibration?” once your child learns a few phonemes, it will be easier to keep
talking about letters and sounds.
TIP #2: MAKE THE LEARNING COMPORTABLE
Have fun with the letters and sounds. Gestures, such as a “munching mouth” made with your
hand can make the /m/ sound much more fun! “slithering snakes” made with an arm or hand
can make the /s/ sound easy to remember. Tongue tickers, also called alliterative words, in
which the sound you’re focusing on is repeated over and over again., can be a fun way to
provide practice with a sound. Try these!
- For M: Miss Mouse makes marvelous meatballs
-For S: Silly Sally sings songs about snakes and snails
-For F: Freddy finds fireflies with a flashlight
TIP #3: HELP YOUR CHILD LISTEN FOR THE SOUNDS
One part of learning letters and sounds is being able to figure out if a word contains a particular
sound. “Do we hear /mmmmmmm/ in the word mmmmmoon? Do we hear /mmmmmm/ in
the word cake?” these sorts of activities, done orally with your child, can help them begin to
listen for and hear sounds within words.
TIP #4: APPLY LETTER-SOUND SKILLS TO READING
Putting these skills to work within a book is a powerful way to help your child see the
connection between letters, sounds, and words. As you’re reading together, find place in the
book to point out the letters and sounds you’ve been working on together. “look! This page
say’s ‘Red fish, blue fish.” There’s the /fffffff/ sound we’ve been having fun with! it is at the
beginning of the word Fish.
Those simple steps can help your child develop a very important awareness of phonemes which
will serve him well as he begins to learn how to read.

5. Be inspired by this Superhero Knockdown Game, using sight words instead of letters.
This energetic game is particularly fabulous for children who learn best when they are
up and active.

 
1. Listen up.
Good phonological awareness starts with kids picking up on sounds, syllables and
rhymes in the words they hear. Read aloud to your child frequently. Choose books that
rhyme or repeat the same sound. Draw your child’s attention to rhymes: “Fox, socks,
box! Those words all rhyme. Do you hear how they almost sound the same?” It also
helps to point out repeated sounds. For example, if you’re reading One Fish, Two Fish,
Red Fish, Blue Fish, ask your child to listen to the /fffff/ sound in fish. (Really stretch the
sounds out at first.) Outside of story time, try pointing out other words that start with
the /fffff/ sound, just like in the book.
QUILLBOT
Children who are able to identify the sounds, syllables, and rhymes in the words they
hear have good phonological awareness. Regularly read aloud to your youngster. Pick
novels with rhymes or repeating sounds. Bring rhymes to your child's attention: "Fox,
socks, box! All of the terms rhyme. Have you noticed how similar they almost sound? ”
Pointing out repeated sounds is helpful as well. Ask your youngster to focus on the
sound /fffff/ in the word fish when you read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, for
instance. Try pointing out other words that begin with the /fffff/ sound outside of story
time, exactly like in the book. (Really stretch the sounds out at first.)
2. Focus on rhyming.
Ask your child to pick out the rhyming words in books without your help. Ask, “Did you
hear a word that rhymes with fox?” Teach your child nursery rhymes and practice
saying them together. Or say four short words, like log, cat, hog, frog. See if your child
can pick out the word that doesn’t rhyme.
QUILLBOT
Ask your child to identify the rhymes on their own in books. Do you know of any words
that rhyme with "fox?" Introduce nursery rhymes to your child and practice saying them
together. Or use four short words, such as "log," "cat," "hog," or "frog." Find out if your
youngster can identify the word that rhymes.
3. Follow the beat.
Make syllables easier to understand by clapping the “beats” your child hears in words.
Let’s say you choose the word elephant. Pause as you say each syllable — e-le-
phant — and clap out each syllable together. You can also get your child up and moving
by having your child stomp or jump with each syllable.
QUILLBOT
By clapping along to the "beats" your child hears in words, you might help them better
absorb syllables. Say you decide to use the word elephant. Each time you utter the
word "elephant," pause and clap your hands in unison. Having your youngster stomp or
hop with each syllable is another way to get them moving.
4. Get into guesswork.
Guessing games such as “I spy” can be used to work on almost any phonological skill.
Want to practice noticing what sounds word begin with? Try “I spy something red that
starts with /s/.” Want to work on rhymes? “I’m wearing something warm that rhymes
with boat.”
QUILLBOT
Almost any phonological skill can be practiced using guessing games like "I spy." Want
to get better at recognizing the sounds that words start with? Want to practice rhymes?
Try "I see something red that starts with /s/." I'm dressed in something cozy that has the
word boat in it.
5. Carry a tune.
Singing in general is a great way to get kids rhyming. There are also good songs
teachers use to focus on other kinds of phonological and phonemic awareness skills.
“Apples and Bananas” is a fun one. You can search online for more songs about
phonemic awareness or ask your child’s teacher for recommendations.
QUILLBOT
Rhyming with children can be encouraged through singing in general. There are also
some excellent songs that educators use to highlight various phonological and
phonemic awareness abilities. A good one is "Apples and Bananas." You can look up
additional songs regarding phonemic awareness online or get recommendations from
your child's instructor.
6. Connect the sounds.
Sound blending is an important skill for early readers. They need to put sound units —
phonemes — together to be able to read a word smoothly. You can help your child start
working on this by putting together sounds of different words. Ask your child to connect
the beginning sound with the rest of a word. For example, say, “Start with /p/ and add
/ig/. What do word do you hear if you put them together?”
QUILLBOT
Early readers need to be able to combine sounds. To read a word smoothly, they must
combine sound components called phonemes. By combining the sounds of several
words, you can encourage your youngster to begin working on this. Ask your child to
make the connection between a word's starting sound and its rest. Say something like,
"Begin with /p/ and add /ig/. If you combine them, what word do you get?
7. Break apart words.
Have your child work on hearing a word and taking it apart. Start by using compound
words such as cowboy, baseball or firefly. Tell your child, “Say the word cowboy. Now
take away boy. What word is left?”
You can also use LEGO bricks to make this point. Give your child two attached LEGO
bricks to represent parts of the word. Then have your child physically take the LEGO
pieces apart while removing part of the word.
QUILLBOT
Encourage your child to practice hearing a word and dissecting it. Start by utilizing
words with multiple meanings, such cowboy, baseball, or firefly. Tell your child to say
"cowboy." Take the boy away now. What word remains? ” LEGO blocks can also be
used to illustrate this principle. To symbolize words, give your youngster two linked
LEGO bricks. Then, while erasing a portion of the word, have your youngster physically
disassemble the LEGO pieces.
8. Get creative with crafts.
Kids respond to hands-on learning. Try making a collage of items that start with the
same sound using pictures from magazines. Sock puppets can be another fun way to
work on these skills. Make one that likes to munch on words that start with a certain
sound. Let your child have fun “feeding” the puppet different objects or pictures that
start with that sound.
QUILLBOT
Children enjoy active learning. Try utilizing images from magazines to create a collage
of things that all have the same sound. Another entertaining method to practice these
abilities is using sock puppets. Create one that enjoys chowing down on words that
begin with a particular sound. Allow your kid to enjoy "feeding" the puppet various items
or images that begin with that sound.
9. Search online.
There are many resources and ideas online to work on phonological and phonemic
awareness skills. Check out YouTube for teaching videos, Pinterest for games and
crafts, or the app store for nursery rhymes, sound games, and songs.
QUILLBOT
Online, there are a ton of tools and suggestions for developing phonological and
phonemic awareness abilities. You can find instructional videos on YouTube, games
and crafts on Pinterest, or songs, sound games, and nursery rhymes on the App Store.
10 simple steps
1. Use songs and nursery rhymes to build phonemic awareness
Children's songs and nursery rhymes aren't just a lot of fun—the rhyme and rhythm help
kids to hear the sounds and syllables in words, which helps them learn to read. A good
way to build phonemic awareness (one of the most important skills in learning to read)
is to clap rhythmically together and recite songs in unison. This playful and bonding
activity is a fantastic way for kids to implicitly develop the literacy skills that will set them
up for reading success.
2. Make simple word cards at home
Cut out simple cards and write a word containing three sounds on each one (e.g. ram,
sat, pig, top, sun, pot, fin). Invite your child to choose a card, then read the word
together and hold up three fingers. Ask them to say the first sound they hear in the
word, then the second, and then the third. This simple activity requires little prep-time
and builds essential phonics and decoding skills (helping them learn how to sound out
words). If your child is just starting out with learning the letters of the alphabet, focus on
the sound each letter makes, more so than letter names.
3. Engage your child in a print-rich environment
Create daily opportunities to build your child's reading skills by creating a print-rich
environment at home. Seeing printed words (on posters, charts, books, labels etc.)
enables children to see and apply connections between sounds and letter symbols.
When you're out and about, point out letters on posters, billboards and signs. In time
you can model sounding out the letters to make words. Focus on the first letter in words.
Ask your child “What sound is that letter?” “What other word starts with that sound?”
“What word rhymes with that word?”

4. Play word games at home or in the car

Building on from the previous step, introduce simple word games on a regular basis.
Focus on playing games that encourage your child to listen, identify and manipulate the
sounds in words. For example, start by asking questions like “What sound does the
word                      start with?” “What sound does the word                      end with?”
“What words start with the sound                     ?” and “What word rhymes
with                     ?”.

5. Understand the core skills involved in teaching kids to read

It's important to remember that learning to read involves various different skills. There
are five essential components of reading that you can read about here. These are the
skills all children need in order to successfully learn how to read. In summary, these
include:
Phonemic awareness – the ability to hear and manipulate the different sounds in words
Phonics – recognising the connection between letters and the sounds they make
Vocabulary – understanding the meaning of words, their definitions, and their context
Reading comprehension – understand the meaning of text, both in storybooks and
information books
Fluency – the ability to read aloud with speed, understanding and accuracy
6. Play with letter magnets
Middle vowel sounds can be tricky for some children, which is why this activity can be
so helpful. Prepare letter magnets on the fridge and pull the vowels to one side (a, e, i,
o, u). Say a CVC word (consonant-vowel-consonant), for example 'cat', and ask your
child to spell it using the magnets. To help them, say each vowel sound aloud (/ayh/,
/eh/, /ih/, /awe/, /uh/) while pointing at its letter, and ask your child which one makes a
sound similar to the middle sound.
7. Harness the power of technology to keep your child engaged
Learning to read should be an enjoyable process in order to keep kids motivated to
improve. Sometimes a child might be full of excitement and eagerness to learn at the
beginning, but once they hit a wall can feel overwhelmed and give up easily. As a
parent, it can feel impossible to pick up again and know where to fill in any gaps that
may be causing frustration.
ABC Reading Eggs uses self-paced lessons that match each individual child's ability.
Children are regularly rewarded for completing activities and reaching new levels, which
keeps them motivated to stay on track. Parents can also view instant progress reports
to see how a child's skills are improving.
8. Read together on a daily basis and ask questions about the book
A lot of people don't realise just how many skills can be picked up through the simple
act of reading to a child. Not only are you showing them how to sound out words, you're
also building key comprehension skills, growing their vocabulary, and letting them hear
what a fluent reader sounds like. Most of all, regular reading helps your child to develop
a love of reading, which is the best way to set them up for reading success.
Strengthen your child's comprehension skills by asking questions while reading. For
younger children, encourage them to engage with the pictures (e.g. “Do you see the
boat? What colour is the cat?”). For older children, ask questions about what you've just
read, like “Why do you think the little bird was afraid?” “When did Sophie realise she
had special powers?”
9. Play games to memorise high-frequency sight words every day.
Sight words are ones that cannot be easily sounded out and need to be recognised on
sight. High-frequency sight words are ones that occur very often in reading and writing
(e.g. you, I, we, am, had, and, to, the, have, they, where, was, does).
The strategy for learning sight words is, "See the word, say the word". Learning to
identify and read sight words is essential for young children to become fluent readers.
Most children will be able to learn a few sight words at the age of four (e.g. is, it, my,
me, no, see, and we) and around 20 sight words by the end of their first year of school.

10. Be patient; the best way to teach kids to read is to make it fun!
Every child learns at his or her own pace, so always remember the single most
important thing you can do is to make it enjoyable. By reading regularly, mixing things
up with the activities you choose, and letting your child pick out their own books
occasionally, you'll instil an early love of reading and give them the best chance at
reading success in no time.

The timely acknowledgement of a person or team's accomplishments in a business
situation that supports your [business] overall goals, values and monetary income far

Context clues
Context clues are hints found within a sentence, paragraph, or passage that a reader
can use to understand the meanings of new or unfamiliar words.
Semantic or meaning clues
Semantic cues refer to the meaning in language that assists in comprehending texts,
including words, speech, signs, symbols, and other meaning-bearing forms. Semantic
cues involve the learners' prior knowledge of language, text, and visual media, and their
prior life experiences.
Syntactic or word order clues
The order of the words in a sentence can indicate what part of speech a missing word
must be (for example, a verb). picture clues: From an early age, beginning readers are
taught to look at illustrations to help with the identification of a word.
Picture clues
Older readers can use pictures as clues to help them read a word they don't know (for
instance, if they're struggling with the end of a word beginning with “el,” and there's a
picture of an elephant on the page, they get a hint that the word is “elephant”)!
Word structure clues
Word-structure clues are understood in two ways: a reader or listener understands a
base word and a prefix (or suffix) and infers the meaning from the combination of the
two, or the reader knows a word origin and upon hearing a word of similar origin, infers
its meaning.
What you can say of the following ideas?
1.Reading readiness starts with motivation
Agest will vary from child to child, but the first and most important sign that your little
one is ready to learn to read is a willingness and interest in learning. Motivation is an
essential component of learning to read – children must be enthusiastic or interested in
reading before they will put in the effort to learn how to do it.

2.Common signs your child is ready to learn to read

Children who are ready to learn to read will usually show an interest in words and
letters. Your child may point to capital letters and identify them, recognize some
lowercase letters, and know the alphabet song. Another indicator of reading readiness
is print awareness. Your little one should understand that readers sound out words by
looking at letters and thinking about what sounds they make. They don't need to be able
to actually sound of the words on their own, but they should understand the concept.
Your child should also have some degree of phonological awareness. A good way to
tell if they are aware of the sound structure of words is to see if they can rhyme simple
words, clap syllables, and identify the beginning and ending sound in a word.
What are the factors affecting reading difficulties in children?
There are various factors that lead to reading failure, including impoverished exposure
to language and early literacy activities, lack of adequate instruction, and/or more
biologically based risk factors. What causes poor reading skills? There are a variety
of factors that lead to reading failure, including poor exposure to language and early
reading activities, lack of adequate instruction, and/or more biologically based risk
factors. Although there are ongoing research efforts in all three areas, I want to address
the two most relevant to K–12 reading educators: instruction and markers for at-risk
readers. Decades of research, particularly in early reading instruction, have yielded
clear, scientifically based approaches to teaching reading. They rely on explicitly and
systematically teaching children sound-symbol relationships, or what is commonly
referred to as phonics. However, it should be noted that teaching phonics does not
mean that exposure to rich literature and meaningful experiences in spoken language
that support comprehension should be abandoned; instead, there needs to be a focus
on both phonics and comprehension-related activities.
Explain about the family history as a reading struggles may play a role

So, what are the markers for children at-risk for reading problems, particularly dyslexia?
As probably can be inferred from above, poor phonological awareness, which can be
tested long before children enter school, is one marker. Another concerning sign is if
children are struggling with learning sound-symbol relationships when they begin to
read. Finally, one of the best predictors we know of for future reading problems is if one
or more relatives, particularly parents, struggled with reading themselves. Why is this
case? Because reading difficulties have a large biological component—in other words,
reading difficulties run in families, and having a parent who has struggled with reading
puts a child at risk genetically for also having reading problems. Understanding the root
causes of non-readers and the signs that put children at risk for reading problems can
facilitate early identification, and therefore early intervention. For a child to become a
successful reader, a variety of different skills need to come together. Understanding
these basic components of reading development and, more important, using teaching
approaches we know work are critical components of both general and special
education.
1.SRCD
Specific reading comprehension deficits or S-RCD is a condition whereby a child can
read without the ability to understand the meaning of the words that are being read. The
disorder is like almost reading a foreign language without being able to understand the
meaning of a single word. Some students with this condition can read aloud with little or
no difficulty in pronouncing words, however, they fail to understand or remember what
they’ve read. Furthermore, while reading, their words and phrases are devoid of feelings
or expressions along with no change in tone, zero logical phrasings, rhythm, or pace.
When such a condition prevails, parents and teachers assume the child to be a good
reader because when the child reads aloud, he/she can decode fluently until the child’s
weak comprehension ability gets highlighted. Neuroscientists have found that children
with S-RCD when compared to ones with word recognition deficits, exhibit poorer
performance connected to tests of planning and spatial memory.

Some children can recognize or sound out words with no issues, but still struggle with
comprehending what they read. Specific reading comprehension difficulties (SRCD)
present themselves as difficulties remembering or understanding what is read. Children
with SRCD often show the following signs:

 struggling with understanding the main points in reading passages

 not understanding the meaning of individual words (vocabulary problems)

 confidence to read aloud, but very little retention of what was read

Educators can help children with SRCD according to their specific weaknesses; for
example, a child may require extra help with vocabulary. Teachers can also assign
activities based on the text—for example, the child can be asked to come up with a
question based on what they’ve read. Parents can help children with SRCD by reading
out loud with their children and then discussing what they’ve read. Flashcards can be
helpful for children with vocabulary troubles.
2.SWRD

One common reading issue among younger children is called specific word reading
difficulty (SWRD). Children who display specific word reading difficulties can generally
understand what they read but tend to struggle when focusing on specific words. In
other words, they struggle with “decoding” written words. In addition, they may have
poor spelling skills. Research suggests that children with SWRD may benefit from a
systematic phonics approach that focuses on increasing the child’s ability to hear and
identify phonemes, or the distinct sounds that distinguish one word from another. (For
example, in the word cat, each letter represents a phoneme or distinct sound, and
together they blend to create the word.) Children who are taught to read with a phonics
approach are taught to “sound out” words. However, some schools use other
techniques to teach reading skills. Whatever method the child’s school uses, parents
can help by having their child read to them, helping with the pronunciation of any words
the child stumbles over, and discussing the meanings of these words. Some children
who are later diagnosed as dyslexic have a history of SWRD, so if your child
continuously exhibits difficulty with recognizing words, sounding out words, or spelling, it
may be worthwhile to have them tested for dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that
can make decoding words difficult; in people with dyslexia, the brain has difficulty
connecting letters to the sounds they represent and combining them into words. The
condition can affect people in different ways, but it often makes reading difficult.
However, the good news is that children with dyslexia can still become good readers
with proper support and intervention.

3.MRD

Mixed reading difficulties (MRD) are particularly challenging because they involve
several different issues that make reading more difficult for these children compared to
those who only struggle with specific word difficulties or reading comprehension.
Children who exhibit MRD often have problems with decoding words as well as
comprehension. Children with this reading challenge often display rushed behavior and
will just try to get through a passage of text as quickly as possible, with little regard for
the meaning behind what they are reading. Some children who display mixed reading
difficulties have some form of social anxiety surrounding reading, which can be directly
tied to their self-confidence. If you notice that your child is struggling with reading
overall, they may have mixed reading difficulties. The remedy should be tailored to the
child’s individual problem, as discussed in the sections above, but parents can always
help by reading with their children out loud. In addition, depending on the severity of the
problem, the child may benefit from a dedicated reading tutor or other professional help.
