Hello! I’m Fion and I’m a stay-at-home mom to my cute little boy, Kaden. I started this blog when he was 2 years and 7 months old.
I’ve never thought that I would become the one who would teach my son to read before he turned 3.
Who, me? Teaching my child to read? I didn’t feel qualified. And I’ve always believed that it’s the job of his future kindergarten or primary school teachers to teach him reading.
But this belief was soon shattered, in a good way, when I embarked on the rewarding and fun journey of learning to teach my son reading with a simple, effective and step-by-step program.
The reason I created this website is to help parents, grandparents or caregivers like you to teach your toddler or child to read at home with the right program.
To do so, I am going to share with you my personal journey of learning to teach my own toddler son to read and what I have discovered to work not just for him, but for us both, right on this blog.
I hope soon you will discover that you too, can teach your kid to read if you’re willing to invest the time and use the right program to do so.
Happy teaching,
Fion
Hello Fion,
My name is David. I am a parent of 2 girls, 5 and 7.
I came across your website by chance when I was researching for children reading program.
My youngest is 5 and she just started her 2nd year of kindergarten. In terms of reading, she is not as good as her older sister. For example, she couldn’t read simple phonics like ‘at’ or ‘as’. I understand each child is different and I am worried her reading skills will get worse as she progresses in elementary school without any help or just relying on her teachers.
I have heard of Children Learning Reading program.
Would you recommend this as a starting point to help her with reading?
I really appreciate your advice or input.
Many thanks.
David
Hi David,
With your youngest daughter being 5 now, I think it’s a great time to help her improve on her reading skills. I started teaching my son when he was a toddler and now he is 7, the same age as your older girl. I taught him to read using the Children Learning Reading program and these few years, I could see that he has developed strong reading skills.
Beginning of this year, I bought him a set of Roald Dahl storybooks which I intended to keep for his future reading. But he wanted to browse through those books and in the end, he finished reading the set of books on his own in a relatively short span of time. So I would think the Children Learning Reading program would be a good program to help with your girl’s reading.
It does take a concerned parent who’s willing to put in the efforts to go through the program with her. But at her age, I believe her attention span is better than younger kids so she might make better progress than active toddlers. I hope this helps! :)
