tips for teaching children how to read
Parents: How old were your children when they learned how to read?
I would like to know:
How old they were (about) when they learned how to read.
Did you teach them yourself or wait until school?
Anything else you would like to share about it, like tips for parents teaching their first how to read.
My oldest was 5 and learned in kindergarten.
My next was 4, she was very bright for her age and I taught her myself.
My youngest is 5 and is learning now. She can read most picture books but stumbles a bit.
I remember them being able to recognize the connection between pictures and words when they were around 3. To help them learn the alphabet we used chalk and wrote it all over the front driveway, my kids always liked tracing the letters and half the time didn’t even know they were learning. It seemed surprisingly easy to teach after they understood the concept.
