For the hesitant reader, don't underestimate the power of flashcards. My son really needed the confidence building he got from knowing each word. Until he had a sufficient vocab, books were intimidating.

Read to your child when you are both enjoying it. Otherwise wait until they are cognitively ready! We do a lot of damage by forcing children to read too early. Check out work by Dr. Raymond Moore and Dr. David Elkind.

Buy a set of bananagrams and build words. Sundays while I cook dinner, my son sits at the kitchen table building words. Not playing banagrams. Just sounding out words. I get him started with words like MAT and then substitute other letters and add more un

When my child was a baby I would use site words and teach him the words through motions. I also used phonics. Now he's 4 and he's reading books without any help. His preschool teachers were amazed by this, but to me he just loved to read.

Read often, read signs, recipes, directions, ingredients, jokes, stories, etc. Visit the library. Write down your child's stories and practice reading them together. Value reading. Play with words, rhymes, word families, word games, etc. Have fun.

We cover this topic frequently and share tips in Piedmont Family Magazine. Check out this article on raising a reader - http://tinyurl.com/3rk946s Tips for reading non-fiction with children in the summer issue, too.

Site words and Dick & Jane books helped a ton!

A phonics approach works for many kids for not so for others. Helping kids learn what words look like, sound like and mean can be fun, hands-on-learning and more meaningful to many kiddos (even for those who do learn with phonics!)

Kumon Centers have Junior Kumon programs for emerging readers. Their program is based on the latest reading research, which indicates that certain pre-reading skills must be in place before a chld can learn to read. My son was reading by age four

Do it yourself phonics...and something called "finger stretching." For each sound, put out a finger...for man, you'd say muh-aah-nuh and stick out one finger for each sound. Make it a game, and they will be reading in no time...I love it! Also, fun WBs

Without a doubt, the BEST program hands down is a simple book that takes literally 15 minutes a day. In 4 months my daughter was reading at a 2nd grade reading level. Less than $20 and it's amazing! Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.

I suggest having your children tell you their own stories; write these stories down using their own words. Then you can read the stories together and they can read them back to you, too, on their own.

Start small. We love the Bob books.

Just read to them a lot even when they are older. Have your kids see you read and have a lot of books available. That is what my parents did and they raised two readers and I did the same thing and have two more readers.

Start them out with Bob Books & Dick & Jane. Make sure to read to your child everyday. Practice phonics with Click N Kids (online reading program). Make note cards and label everyday items. Don't push, let them lead.

There are some great apps to help with reading. I made a list of my favorite math & phonics apps here - Phonics & Math: Best Apps for Early Elementary School http://www.skinnyscoop.com/list/eden/phonics-and-math-best-apps-for-early-elementary-school

Bought my son some of my favorites growing up & bought him books based on things he liked.

Turn on closed captioning on your t.v. and if you have a dvd player in the car play leap frog dvds to learn phenetic sounds. Also make games out of the words use post itd around the house and label things ..change them weekly ..best of all read together .

Read to your kids whenever possible. Make sure to pick a story they like so they enjoy it. Soon, they'll want to read it to you all by themselves! Help them sound out the hard words, and they'll be pros in no time.

I used hooked on phonics for all my children. Both the boys learned how to read early and did well in English. Unfortunately my girl has a learning disabiltiy and still has trouble reading and writing.

Spelling games, phonics, poetry, children's books. I used to read just about anything. By the time I reached 9th grade I'd read Narnia, Pride and Prejudice, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, many others, and was writing a fantasy novel of my own.

The computer program Jumpstart is excellent. They even make ones fit babies. You hold them in you lap and any key they touch causes exciting things to happen .

For children around 4 years old or under, flash cards of words are very effective. Make the letters big and write the words in black. For children over 4 you can start with teaching phonetics. All materials can be bought or made at home on a shoestring

What worked best with my two kids was to find a subject or book series they like and roll with it. For my daughter, it was rainbow fairies (the series) and for my son, it was captain underpants books.

Kids like to do what's fun. Try having them read by flashlight under their covers. Do it with them too! If reading is a chore or too much like work then kids get turned off.

I played word games with my son. Rhyming word games... If I said 'hat' he would say 'bat' --- sat--- mat and so on... We would make up stories, where I would start with . 'Bob, was an old man...' and my son would say, 'who had a son named Sam.' ---

Get books on topics that are of interest to your child & read to them & let them read to you.

My daughter was reading at the age of three. I didn't "teach" her to read. I just read to her and tracked the text with my finger as I read. Her brain made the connection between the sounds my voice was making and the shapes of the letters on the page.
