Is your child ready to learn to read?

 

What does reading involve?

 

If someone asks you what reading is all about I wonder what you would answer? The process of reading is actually quite a complex interaction between physical, intellectual and emotional processes. Physical processes involve hearing, seeing and hand/eye co-ordination; intellectual skills include pattern recognition, aural and visual memory, comprehension, a knowledge of vocabulary and syntax, an understanding of how books work, some knowledge of the printed word, and understanding and recognising similarities and differences.

 

Just as importantly however, reading involves the emotions; in order to achieve success a child must actually want to read!

 

Having described how complex the process is, it is also true that for most children (80%) learning to read need not prove difficult but can be both pleasurable and fun!

 

A young child has a natural desire to copy his parents and usually to please them; it goes without saying then, that one of the main motivators to your child reading is seeing you yourself read.

 

How do you the parent, know when a child is ready to read?

 

A child is ready to learn to read when he/she has developed certain skills. Click on the link below and if you answer ‘yes’ to most of the questions then it is time to start teaching!
