Reading must be for pleasure not a task that is stressful. Let the child pick an appropriate book. A book that is colourful with great pictures and an interesting story. Look for a repetition in words and short sentences were you can each take turns. Ask your child when you would like to read. Look for a suitable time maybe when you are both settled at night.Some people enjoy sitting at the dinning room table side by side for good posture. Let the child start the story. If unsure of a word tell the child the word they don't know and let them read on. You will notice by their expressions and movement in their chair if they are tense. Take over if need be and then when they are confident again the child can take over from you. When you have established their confidence by them knowing we will read the difficult words try to help them with the words they are finding difficulty with. Give them the sounds of the first letter to some of the words were previously we have stopped for a few seconds. Be quick to not lose momentum with the story otherwise the child will lose interest, so take over when need be. We must keep to the Golden Rule. Take your child to the library and pick a few books out ask them what they like to read. Happy Reading.
