Teaching your toddler to read at home


       Research shows that helping a toddler learn to read early on is extremely beneficial. In fact, a 3 year old’s vocabulary is a strong indicator of how successful he or she will be when reading in the first grade.  Additionally, his or her reading skills and vocabulary comprehension predict how well they will perform in the 11thgrade. Overall, teaching a toddler to read at an early age stimulates his or her intellectual development and helps them become smarter. 

      Children are naturally very imaginative, creative, and capable human beings. While it is commonly believed that toddlers have an extremely short attention span, the truth is that when you really analyze them, it is obvious that they love to learn. For children, learning is a craving, an enjoyable activity, and often viewed as a form of playing. 

        It is not unusual for us to hand a rattle, toy blocks, cars, or stuffed animals to a child when we need to get something accomplished. Of course, within minutes, they have thrown it aside and are on to something new. For adults, this simply reaffirms the thought that kids have short attention spans, but this isn’t really the case.

​       When you hand a child a new toy, they unusually pick it up, turn and flip it around, and examine it. In some cases, they may even try to smell it or lick it in an attempt to determine how it smells or tastes. What are they doing? They are learning. They are using their five senses-seeing, smelling, hearing, touching, and tasting- to learn anything they can about the toy. Within minutes, they have learned all they believe they can and simply throw it aside. As long as there is something left to be learned, the child will hold onto the toy and continue to happily play with it. They love to learn!

Teaching Your Toddler to Read at Home

​        All of the information above was used to point out how much children love to learn. As a result, teaching your toddler his or her ABC’s and how to read at an early age is perfect. It’s a time in their life when they are not resistant to learning, plus they find it challenging and engaging. 

Why Should You Teach Your Toddler to Read at Home?

While you may not believe it, teaching a toddler to read is not that difficult. It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes of your time daily, as well as routine read aloud sessions.

How to Improve Reading Comprehension Skill


The value of teaching a child to read is obvious, but there is no point in reading anything without the ability to comprehend its meaning. A toddler will learn to read words by seeing how they are formed from individual letters, but when too much effort is going into the process of decoding the words, this can have an impact on a child’s ability to grasp any meaning from those words.

Some educators are of the opinion that analysis and comprehension of a text should be taught before a toddler learns to read. Others think that children should be allowed to develop skills in decoding and word recognition before learning how to comprehend what they are reading.

The best way to improve reading comprehension is for a child to learn it at the same time as developing the ability to process individual letters and see how they combine to form a word and its associated sound.

When you read a piece of text, like this one you are reading now, you are extracting information by processing the letters that form the words and at the same time you are gathering a meaning from all the words that are set up in lines of text.

To help a child to develop good skills in word recognition and comprehension, you will need to use these three key strategies:
(a) Teaching word recognition,
(b) Developing vocabulary
(c) Active reading

Decoding and Word Recognition

Teaching word recognition allows a child to recognize words correctly. It’s only when we become fluent at decoding words that reading becomes less of an effort.

Fluent reading requires fast decoding skills. Once a toddler learns to read by developing the ability to decode words quickly, less goes into the process of word recognition and there is more cognitive capacity available for reading comprehension.

Developing Vocabulary

Reading comprehension requires a good knowledge of vocabulary, which is why it is critical for a toddler to learn to read at the same time as acquiring new vocabulary. Testing has shown that young children who are taught a hundred new words over a period of five months outperform those who have not developed their vocabulary.

Reading helps to increase vocabulary and a toddler can learn to read, the richer that child’s vocabulary will grow. A 1988 study revealed that books written for children contain twice as many uncommon words when compared to conversation between adults educated to the level of college graduates.

Developing a daily habit of reading helps a child to build vocabulary. Children extract meaning from unfamiliar vocabulary by associated the words they read with their existing knowledge.

Improving Comprehension

Active strategies help to improve reading comprehension. When teaching a toddler to learn to read you should also ask questions about what is happening in the story. Start a discussion about the characters and ask about how the difficulties they face in the plot could be resolved.

A toddler can learn to read and develop skills in reading comprehension at the same time, through a combination of three teaching strategies. You need to understand the process of reading and what makes a good reader. You should know the importance of allowing a child to grasp the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary and becoming an active reader. 



Program Review: Children Learning Reading

Do you think development and education of your toddlers are important to you? Have you ever been looking for a program that might help you teach your toddler to read? 


Recently I came across a step-by-step program that helps parent to simply teach their toddlers to read. The best thing of this program is that as long as your toddler is ready to talk,it will assist you teach your toddler to read fluently.  I had some doubts at first once I saw that the program claimed that even two and three year old children can be educated to read  effectively; but, my doubts were quickly place to rest once I saw their video proofs of small kids reading.

The authors of the program, Jim and Elena, had developed their Children Learning Reading program, and then used it to teach their own children to read before turning 3 years old. They showed various clips of their young 2 year 11 months old daughter reading, and I was quite surprised to see how capable their daughter was at reading by the time she was just a little over 3 years old. I did not expect to see small 3 year old children capable of reading children's books! Here's a video for you to see:

How to Help Your Child Learn to Read


The ability to read is vital for success. It helps your child succeed in school, helps them build self-confidence, and helps to motivate your child. Being able to read will help your child learn more about the world, understand directions on signs and posters, allow them to find reading as an entertainment, and help them gather information.

Learning to read is very different from learning to speak, and it does not happen all at once. There is a steady progression in the development of reading ability over time. The best time for children to start learning to read is at a very young age - even before they enter pre-school. Once a child is able to speak, they can begin developing basic reading skills. Very young children have a natural curiosity to learn about everything, and they are naturally intrigued by the printed texts they see, and are eager to learn about the sounds made by those letters. You will likely notice that your young child likes to look at books and thoroughly enjoys being read to. They will even pretend to behave like a reader by holding books and pretend to read them.
As parents, you're the most important first step in your children's journey into the wonderful world of reading. It is up to you to create the most supportive environment that turns your child on to reading - such as reading aloud to them often during the day and before bedtime, and placing age appropriate books for children around the house, so that the child will have access to plenty of books. Reading often to your child will help develop their interest in books and stories, and soon they will want to read stories on their own.

With the help of parents, children can learn how to read. Make reading into a family activity, and spend time playing words games and reading story books. This will not only help you child learn to read, but it'll also help them build a rich vocabulary, teach them language patterns, and help them fall in love with books and reading.




Below are some tips to help you teach your child to read.

Talk to your child - before a child can learn to read, he or she must first learn to speak. Talk to your child about everything and anything - whatever interests them. Tell them stories, ask your child lots of questions, play rhyme games, and sing songs with them.

Read to your child consistently everyday - we're all creatures of habit, and enjoy having a daily routine. Set time aside each day to read to your child. Read to your child every night. Make this their "cool down" period before they go to sleep. This not only helps your child develop an interest in books and reading, it also help the parent bond with the child, and develop a healthy relationship.

Help your child develop reading comprehension - typically, parents will take the time to read for their children; however, many parents do not put much emphasis or thought on whether their children understands what they've just been read to. Instead, occasionally, make an effort to question your child on what you've just read. For example, you read to your child:
"Jack and Jill went up the hill..."
You pause briefly and ask your child:
"So where did Jack and Jill go?" Or alternatively, "Who went up the hill?"
Young children may not catch on right away initially, and it may take a little practice, but they'll eventually catch on and begin to develop a deeper understanding of what they are reading. This is a very important step in helping your child develop reading comprehension. Of course, don't do this every single time you read, or your child will quickly get bored and lose interest. Do it at random times, and do not over do it.

Help your child to read with a wide variety of books and keep reading fun- There is no shortage of children books, and you should always have a wide variety of children books, stories, and rhymes available. Reading is a lot of fun, for both parents and children. Read to your child using drama and excitement, and use different voices. Give your child the option of choosing what book they want you to read, instead of picking the book you want to read to your child.
When reading to your child, read slowly, and point to the words that you are reading to help the child make a connection between the word your are saying and the word you are reading. Always remember that reading should be a fun and enjoyable activity for your children, and it should never feel like a "chore" for them.
