In the previous article, we talked about the Quick Flash Method. After you have used this method and your child has read through the Dick and Jane, or similar, books, your child will be ready to read other books using the following method:

     1.  parents reads one paragraph
     2.  child reads the SAME paragraph
     3.  parent reads the next paragraph
     4.  child reads that SAME paragraph

In order to ensure that the child is following along while you read, pause every once in a while before reading a word you know he knows, and let him say the word. Also, while the child is reading, don’t listen to him struggle to sound out a word – just tell him the word. You will find your child’s confidence begins to grow.

Don’t forget to work on auditory processing in the meantime. Click here to go to the Auditory Processing article.

Editor’s note: A child learns much about our language through mimicking what is heard and said. The same holds true in reading. That’s why it is best to avoid what is known as “cold reading” when a child is learning to read. This is where the child attempts to read a passage that he has never heard or seen before.
