By: Jayne Beacon

Narrated by: Carole Graham Lehan

Letters and words and sounds, oh my! Don’t panic, Mom...kick-starting your child’s reading journey is way easier than it sounds.

The idea of setting children up to be confident and fluent readers is daunting for most parents, but it doesn’t need to involve formal lessons or an in-depth understanding of the curriculum...in fact, it shouldn’t.

The best way to set your child on the path to becoming an enthusiastic, curious, and confident reader is to integrate literacy skills into your everyday life...and above all, make them fun.

In Teaching Your Child to Read, you’ll find a modern and straightforward approach to teaching your child early reading skills.

You’ll discover:

• The number-one thing you can do to raise a confident reader with a natural love of books
• How to recognize reading readiness in your child—and why so-called "milestones" aren’t all they’re cracked up to be
• All the background information you need to know to understand how to scaffold your child’s development
• Stealth strategies for taking what your child does naturally and turning it into a teachable moment (in a fun way!)
• The real reason nursery rhymes are so important—and how you can build on the foundations you lay with them
• Environmental print—understand how to use your new best friend!
• Everything you need to know about teaching your child the letter sounds—and what to do with them
• Sight words’ demystified—plus strategies to help your child recognize them
• The most common mistakes parents make when teaching their children to read
• A wealth of tips, activities, and games for every area of development
• And much more.

Worrying is a natural part of being a parent. You want your kids to be confident, fluent readers, and you want them to enjoy reading...but do you have the skills to teach such a difficult skill?

Here’s a secret: You do. Set your child up for reading success without delivering a single lesson!

A must-have reference guide

This is a great gift for a new parent or grandparent that wants to positively influence a child’s love of reading. It will be a book they refer to at each stage of development to find actionable strategies and techniques that are age appropriate. It has tons of useful information that is laid out in an easy-to-understand manner. I love that the author is focused on creating and growing a child’s passion for reading by providing lots of fun ideas and games to get a kid engaged in reading.

A Must-Have Audiobook for Parents

I absolutely loved this audiobook! It offers a modern and practical approach to teaching kids to read, making it relatable to real-life parenting. The best part is the emphasis on integrating literacy skills into daily life, ensuring a fun learning journey. Kudos to the author for their expertise and the narrator for an engaging delivery. I highly recommend this audiobook to parents—it's a valuable resource for setting our children on the path to reading success while making it an enjoyable experience.

Incredible tips to help my child’s reading comprehension!

I found this audiobook extremely useful and I now have some great techniques to implement into my youngest child’s reading journey. I especially enjoyed chapter 5 “Read read read!…”. All about the importance of reading to your child frequently. I experienced this first hand with my first child and even to this day he LOVES to read (and is one of the top academic students in his class). I highly recommend this audiobook!

Well done

Achieving success with a child at the youngest level requires momentum for seeing what the child can do and teaching just that. The book is packed with fun ideas to engage your child with reading, with game time included with every chapter. The author's direct style of tackling issues and potential solutions broaden the book even further. She explains how the younger your child is, the more you will have to do to maintain the child's attention. Going too fast is an error and going too slowly is also an error. I think that this book is probably the quickest way you can get your child to read books that are sufficiently complex that they ARE interesting. Well done!!!
