Reading with your child- Remember, reading aloud with your child is just as important as having them read to you. When you read to them, they expand their vocabulary and hear fluent reading modeled.
In the early stages of the Wilson reading program, your child will use finger tapping to identify sounds in unfamiliar words or syllables. If they come across a new word while reading to you, encourage them to tap out the sounds and blend them together. If they still struggle, it's perfectly okay to provide the correct pronunciation.
As your child progresses, they'll learn to decode words by recognizing syllable types and word elements like prefixes, base words, and suffixes. When they encounter a difficult word, guide them to break it into syllables or word elements before blending to form the word.
These same strategies are also effective for spelling.
