Don’t rush it. Body-builders don’t train in a day – neither does a child.
And most important ofall, HAVE FUN!
Read the book WITH your child. You read the “regular” text, and he/she reads the big, red words, sort of like reading the different parts in a play.
Help your child sound out the words as needed.
Read the book several times. This helps develop the eye muscles and left-to-right reading patterns.

Usually when there is more than one of something, we add a “sss”
sound to the end of the word to show there is more than one.

”eg” family
37
Here’s a way toremember the
letter ‘g’
(Read this page TO your child.)
The letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ have arms that reach up above their “bodies”
But the letter ‘g’ has a FOOT under its “body”
38
A foot is always at the end of a leg,not the middle or the top:
legSo it helps to remember that the letterwith the little “foot” (the letter ‘g’) is always at the end of the word, ‘leg.’
39
Hold your left hand flat to make the letter ‘l’ – Point your right
thumb down to make the letter ‘g’ –
Curl your thumbto make the little “foot.”
