It is important that children learn to point to the words too, so urge them to point along with you as soon as possible. Help cement their recognition of the 'learning images' by repeatedly asking what it says.\u003cbr\u003e3) Take time between pages to develop recognition of the 'learning images' by asking children to point at particular words and pronounce them. While they are not yet reading the written word, this is the first step in learning to read, which is exciting for everyone!\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow Can Readers Build Confidence?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eBegin with an easy 'learning image', like an eye. Keep in mind that 'learning images' are a visual tool to help make a connection between the image, its pronunciation, and the written form of the word. For example, the image of an eye is used to phonetically represent the word 'I', as well as 'eye', the actual word itself. These regular prompts are important to ensure that children are learning to recognize the 'learning images' and not just memorizing words or sentences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow Do You Know Readers Are Ready for the Next Level of \u003ci\u003eLearn to Read with Images\u003c\/i\u003e?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce readers can correctly identify a word and its connection to the 'learning image', they are ready for the next level of Learn to Read with Images. There are several sight words in the text. For younger children, it is recommended to count the number of words in the text (upper half of the page) and do the same for the 'learning images' (bottom half of the page). This is a useful prompt to remind children that not all words in the text are connected to a 'learning image', and therefore, they must read from memory.
