Value Bookshop's Reading Notes

Yesterday, my 2 1/2 year old son excitedly came to me with a book and said “I read to you?” He also likes to draw vertical zig-zag lines which he describes as writing “W”s. All children are alike in that they all want to become readers and spellers, eager to open that important door to independent learning. Children are different when it comes to the when, why, how, and what works best when it comes to reading and spelling. By understanding and knowing how to work with these differences, you can prepare the proper and most direct road to reading and spelling proficiency and ensure that your child has a lifelong enjoyment of the skills.

Is It Time?

Your six month-old baby didn’t show any signs of possessing the preliminary skills necessary to put on their shoes, so you didn’t waste time and energy trying to teach them how. Instead, you patiently helped them gain the coordination and waited until they had a good chance to succeed before showing them how to do this themselves, right?

Well, the same principle applies when determining if your child is ready to start learning to read and spell. The age at which a child is ready to read and spell can vary dramatically. Children can start from the age of three years old on up to eleven years old and beyond, but generally reading and spelling occurs between the age of four and ten years old.

The age of readiness or desire to read and spell can be easily determined by paying attention to the clues that children freely provide. Here are some signs of reading and spelling readiness:

1. Your child pretends to read
2. Your child maintains phonemic awareness or knows the sounds that letters make.
3. You notice your child takes interest in the environments written words on street signs, cereal boxes, TV, magazines, flyers, books, etc.
4. Your child looks at pictures and tells a story or repeats a known story in her own words
5. If your child can add the missing word to an incomplete sentence presented orally
6. If they can define or give the meaning of simple words
7. If they use left to-right progression
8. If they can pronounce their own first and last names
9. If they can print their name
