Jelise began reading when she was about 4 1/2 years old. O love to teach my children everything that is good knowledge. We came up with this easy idea that has helped her a lot. When she was given her start kindergarten assessment her teacher said she was the first student thus far to brake up the words by letters and then read them.  

      I made the alphabet in flash cards. Then took a binder and inserted a paper with the spaces for het to assemble the words and bellow, has the lines to write the words she forms. I use tree letters words of about  9 different letters. I dictate the word and the child forms the word and practice writing.
