Encourage your child to sound out words with this silly game: When reading your child's bedtime story, deliberately change some of the words. (i.e. instead of "princess" say "monster"). When your child objects, make her sound out the word to get the correct term.

Unsure how to start teaching your child to read? Start small. Choose one word that appears frequently in their bedtime story. Let them "read" it each time it appears in the text. The next night, choose a second word. By the end of the week, they'll know seven words!

Help your child pick up dozens of sight words effortlessly by using labels. Label the "door," "light switch," "refrigerator," etc. You'd be surprised how quickly they'll pick up words at a very young age.
