Print some pages.
Do just a couple
at a time to start.
Later, you can do a
half-dozen or more
in one sitting.
Have your kid
sound out all the words
on the pages.
You can help with the
letter sounds, but don't
say the words.
Make the kid
sound them out.
Send the kid off
to a nice quiet place
with a big fat pen
to trace all the words.
If you must watch,
watch from a distance.
The kid will digest
the stuff better alone.
Have your kid
sound out all the words
with you again.
Review the pages the
next day and repeat
them as necessary.
Don't rush. The tortoise always wins in this race.

HINT
It's time to train your little one's brain to
process longer word endings at a glance. The
first half of this book does that with a single
consonant at the beginning of each word.
The second half of this book does the same
thing, but with longer beginnings as well.
Continue to encourage your kid to see words
in two parts, beginning and ending, and to
think of each part as a single sound.
