Reading at Home
Best Books to Teach Reading at Home
Teaching your child to read is one of the most rewarding parts of homeschooling. The key is short, steady practice and books that grow with them.
Keep lessons short
Ten to twenty minutes a day beats one long session a week. Stop while your child is still having fun.
Read together every day
Even after kids can read on their own, reading aloud together builds vocabulary and a love of books.
Move to high-interest books
Once the basics click, books full of facts and pictures keep kids reading by choice.
