Phonics Reading Pro wants you to know that a key to your child’s success in learning reading is to coordinate at-home lessons with what your child on being taught at school. If you are fortunate enough to have a teacher that uses phonics as their main avenue of teaching reading then use this to your advantage. Phonics is taught in a very structured manner, so if you communicate with your child’s teacher and explain that you’d like to do additional reading practice at home, they will more than likely be very happy to give you a copy of their lesson plan so that you can follow along in your practice time with your child. With this knowledge in hand, focus your lessons on the specified phonograms by using books that feature them, writing words that include them, playing fun games and singing songs that showcase them, etc. Let your child’s teacher play the lead, and you take the supporting role.
We hope that you’ll find working with your child’s teacher is easy and enjoyable! Do what you can to facilitate a good working relationship early on-- it will pay off in the end! The parent-teacher relationship is vital to academic success for your child, especially when it comes to early lessons in phonics reading.
