Learning to read, one way or another

As you know, we discuss reading around here more than anything (once we finally got of the who does it better  homeschoolers or public schools) and there are so many methods out there of teaching children read it is unbelievable.  As I mentioned before my son wasn’t very successful with phonics.  Now, he can read the book off of a label right and left and drive you insane, he just didn’t’ learn what he has learned through true phonics.

If you are familiar with reading and reading techniques, especially since we have discussed teaching adults at this time, you should check out Pennington, Publishing Blog.

If you read the article, you know that there are many techniques that are the same when you start teaching adults to read as there is when teaching children to read.  First of all the students will need to learn the curricular components of spelling, syllabication phonics, fluency, sight words, vocabulary development and reading comprehension. Yu will need a balanced approach between instructional approaches and reader and pre-reader strengths and weaknesses in phonics awareness. 

And as if this even needs to be said, you will need lots of book around that fit the appropriate reading level as well as interest level of the ate group.  And, finally, one of the most important aspects is you are going got need to be patient.
