Helping Your Six-Year-Old Become a Reader
Age six is a key year for supporting your child's reading skills. At this age, kids begin to sound out simple words by using letter sounds and context clues (like pictures). They can identify more and more words by sight and use strategies like rereading to help them understand what they read. This is a great age to play word games together! Your example and interest in them will leave a lasting impression.
