Try for books that are aimed for his age- a librarian could help you too. Then sit next to him on the couch & read with him. Put your finger under every word as you read it. This will help him start to recognize words. Then practice what some call the "popcorn words" (see, it, as, I , am, and, we, like, do, etc). You could probably look up all the words on a website or something. You want kids to learn all of the common/small words that "pop up" in sentences. You can even put each word on a flashcard (if you want, you can make the card shaped like a piece of popcorn). Then review the "popcorn words" often & he will learn them faster than you think. There are probably websites that offer advice on teaching kids to read also-good luck!<br />I also think it is great that you are reading to him. It is so good for kids to hear the flow & get interested in a story. He is lucky to have you as an aunt!<br />Sorry I'm so wordy, I am passionate about this subject.Hall of Hallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282571781680165197noreply@blogger.com
