Learn to Read Books for Kids 5-7: Decodable Words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948863544)

Learn to Read for Kids 5-7 uses phonics by focusing on one vowel sound at a time. Each book is written in mostly one vowel sound, making decodable words possible and more palatable. This book focuses on long vowel sounds. This concept was formulated after extensive research at UCLA and works for young children struggling to read, people with special-needs overwhelmed with many vowel sounds all at once and even helps children learn to speak while enabling the brain to focus on one vowel sound until it masters that sound and can move onto the next vowel sound. Learning to read can be very difficult for children. It is important that the steps are small enough to ensure success. Many early reading children's books immediately cover all short and long vowel sounds together, which is very confusing for first time readers. Through my research, I have found that it is very important to introduce the vowel sounds one at a time. Since there are so many first time reading books that blend too many words with too many vowel sounds together this can be frustrating for children and sometimes makes them want to shut down and give up. Therefore, I created these books so that children can build their confidence when reading. Each book focuses on a particular vowel sound and starts out with simple words for success. First, practice the focus words with your child that are in each book. Next, each book is meant to be read by the parent to the child, then together, and eventually let the child try on their own. When reading the books, point to each word and each sound as you read it. Then, work on blending the sounds as you point to each sound with the child. Continue practicing the focus words in each book and reading to and with your child. Since each book focuses on one vowel sound, it helps them to succeed in building their reading skills by working on one book and therefore one vowel sound at a time. As your child builds confidence in one book, they can move to the next. Happy reading
