Parental Guide: How to Use This Reading Scheme

This is not a storybook — it’s a structured reading tool. It’s meant to build confidence in children who are learning to read short, simple words. Here’s how you can use it effectively:

Short Daily Sessions – Spend a few minutes each day reading one page together.

Sound It Out – Help your child pronounce each letter, then blend the sounds.

Track with Your Finger – Point to each word as it’s read to build eye movement.

Repeat Often – Repetition improves confidence and recognition.

Give Praise – Celebrate effort, not just perfection. Encouragement goes a long way.

Make It Interactive – Ask simple questions like:
Can you find a word that ends in 'at'?
Which word did you like reading best today?

This reading scheme is a great support tool for early literacy. Feel free to print it, reuse it, and share it with other parents or educators who want to encourage reading in simple, manageable steps.

We hope this makes your child’s reading journey exciting and joyful!
