I think an avatar working his way through a reading map and suggesting a logical progression would be very useful*****įirst I get my children used to "doing preschool" by learning the colors at about 2-3 years old. Then depending on my child's readiness we have started the ABC section as early as a late 2 or as late as 4 years old.

I sit with the child and make sure that we learn a letter or two before I let him have free play. They next day I review what we have already learned and then we do a few more. I have learned that it won't do any good to move more quickly than the child is ready for so until you see the signs that your child is ready, you just keep playing in the ABC section. I put him on my lap and try to make it fun. The I let him play on the activities after we are done. Then at some point the light switch will go off and the child will be ready for blending sounds. In the beginning I sit with the child, with the volume turned off and with my hand over the picture of the word, and I work with my child to sound out the word. Later, they race the machine to read the word before the picture comes down the pipe.Īs soon as I can see my child is getting the hang of blending the sounds then I take him to the first 5 of Backpack Bear's books. Here he will learn some sight words that he will need. I focus on teaching them that some words can be sounded out and that you have to memorize other words. One of my kids flew through that whole section. Sometimes depending how he is progressing we take an easy day and go back to word machines or to the first few books in unit one of "more phonics". Then we can go back to the "learn to read section" because now that my kid has some sight words down, he'll be ready for the first five lessons there. I have tried this without spending some time on the sight words and it is too big a jump from word machines to reading these lessons.
