BEGINNING TO READEffective way of teaching children to begin to Read

By Sheila Osei BoakyeSolomon Appiah

Instructions In teaching children to read, do not teach them to pronounce words with individual sounds. Eg. Where a child would say s o before saying so.Teach children to pronounce words as they see it to enable them read words not alphabets.

2 to 3 letter word readingI am to go to Ho.I am on it.He is in it.Is he on it?No, he is in it.Pa is at it.

Introduce onset and rimeS + am = SamR + ed= RedM + ud = MudH + im = HimB + ed = BedH + ut = HutW + et = Wet

3 letter words reading He has a big mud in the tin.She sits in the red box on the mat.Pat and the cat are on the mat.Pat has a cap on his lapPam has a map in the bag.I beg you to put the hat on the mat in the bag.
