Learning to Read: What Does a Good Reading Program Include?

As an early childhood teacher who has taught in the early grades of primary school ,the most rewarding part of my job was always working alongside the children as they began the exciting journey on the road to learning to read independently. This series of four short video blogs introduces the components which research tells us are important elements of a language program for children who are beginning the process of formally learning to read.

    I don't have a child who is learning to read - but I've just started 'learning to teach' so I was excited to see this series. Thanks for sharing!

    Great post Christie! I was hanging on every word, as Doots is really showing interest in reading and likes to point out the words that she recognises (like the, and, is, a, this...). I had heard about the whole-language approach versus phonics but I don't know much about the detail, so it was terrific to hear a teacher talk about it. I would love to hear your thoughts (maybe in a future post?) on different learning styles and whether there is research to show that different children respond better to different styles of teaching.
