Save save save! Ah, the joys of learning phonics. For some children, like my eldest, it comes to them as easily as rain falls in a summer shower. For others, like another of my children, it is initially as easily understandable as is deciphering next years's tax codes.

If your child doesn't get it the first time, do not despair! Remember, it might just be that your child has a specific learning style...one that another approach would help convey the material. But...how can you find it?

Until now, you would have had to do all the above research yourself. But here at Lingstar Learning, I've compiled the following time-saving useful reading enrichment aids:

• Reading Enrichment - Want to help your child make the connection between any children's book and actual reading? This is what I created to teach my daughter how to read!

Teaching your child to read requires more than just rote phonics mastery , of course. After watching my 4.5 year old daughter struggle to make the connection between words and concepts, I developed my own curriculum of teaching her how to read. A combination of encouragement, printed manipulatives, favorite activities and more, she now understands how to blend sounds and take the risk of reading new material. This process was the 3rd method I tried and the one that struck gold. Click HERE to see how I did it.
