HI - I have always used the "golden rule" reading with all kids (not just the ones who have dyslexia). When you are reading with a child who is new to reading the purpose is not to teach the child how to read but to foster a love of stories and gaining new information as well as a love of books.

I read in another thread a comment on letting a child handle a book - I suggest getting a range of reading material from newspapers, comics, old books, new books and now e-books and let the child have access to all of it and to touch, and feel it, use the books to make a tower, or a ramp for a toy car - then pick it up and read it together. Take kids into a second hand book shop and let them browse - you'll be amazed at the books they pick up and wonder at the stories that they tell. In summary - let the child "experience" books to take away some of the fear that they may be experiencing when they open them.
