THE STEPS TO ENGLISH SUCCESS
Children need to acquire a sequence of skills in order to learn to read, commencing with language. Children over three years of age are full of curiosity and eager to learn. They can listen to a teacher, express themselves verbally, expand vocabulary, sing rhyming songs, speak in front of
the group and generally enjoy using and playing with words. Pictures, stories and games all contribute to the child’s enjoyment of English. As
they broaden their language skills, they progress to a higher level of verbal and imaginative skills with role play, retelling stories, listening comprehension and and beginning phonemic awareness.
Once a child understands that spoken words have little sounds and can relate those little sounds to their graphemes (letters), then he or she can be taught to read. It’s simple, it’s a process, and when applied correctly, works every time!
