5 Tips for helping your child to read
1. Set the example of reading for the child.
2. Give them the information in chunks instead of all at once.
3. Let the child solve their own problems. Let them work at the word before you tell them what it is.
4. Be consistent in what you are saying, and how you say/explain the words to them.
5. Make the reading fun for both you and your child. It should not be forced.
