Learn To Read For Kids

Archive for the ‘Discussions’ Category

I saw this just this last weekend (may 2008) and the whole subject of the commercial was like this “Parents. You’re busy. There’s not enough time in the day. How are you supposed to have time to teach your kid to read??? Well listen to this, we have this special new thing… play these tapes when your child is sleeping and he will learn how to read!”
Now I admit I was tired when I saw the commercial but I SWEAR that is what it was. I’ve googled it and searched youtube but can’t find it with my keywords.
ring a bell? what is this product?
by the way, I don’t want it I think it’s pretty pathetic if a parent won’t take the time and responsibility and teach their child to read. Afterall, what else are you “too busy” to do with your child….. sad sad world.

EX: I have a college degree. Reading comprehension has always been a weakness for me. So, now I’m trying to sharpen my reading comprehension skills.
Or it can even be about learning new games that kids play.

My child just finished Kindergarten, he is a little saddened because alot of the kids have learned to read small words, he doesn’t have any learning challenges, Help?

I cant wait to read to them. I’ll start off with the fairy tales and then move on to harder stuff. I want my children to love learning and I’ll make it fun.
I find that weird because these days most parents don’t care about the nitty gritty details of their kids education.
I want them to read books and authors that have influence me.

I know kids at my school who only really started reading in 2nd grade or so, but I know others (my little brother in particular) who started at age 4 or so. What the typical age, or window of ages? Thanks.

It seems to be a major problem with the series, and as far as I know, it’s never mentioned that kids from magical families even go to school before Hogwarts.

Hi. I’m unschooling my kids except for reading and math. My 6-year-old daughter is doing great with “Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons” and we just got Shillermath and so far it looks promising. For HER, at least. My 5-year-old son, however, is a little different. He’s a little, shall we say, *off.* I’ve read all the books and I’m 99% sure that an expert would say he has ADHD. Whether or not he actually has it doesn’t really matter too much because whatever the deal is, it’s hard to get him to pay attention to me, or even look at me sometimes.
Anyway, I was thinking that when he was ready to read, he might not really be able to follow any structured program. It might be easier for him to just pick it up informally. Buy I really don’t know how he would. I asked this on another forum and the only person who answered said that her son just memorized what was read to him and then he could read, but that’s not real reading, is it? So, how did your kids do it?

It seems all kid shoes have zippers or velcro, and all clocks are now digital… It’s so much different from even 10 yrs ago
