Teaching Someone to Read

What Resources Can I Use When I'm Teaching Someone To Read?

If you're teaching someone to read, many free websites can supply you with fun teaching ideas, activities and resources.

If you're teaching a beginning reader, you may want to administer the Abcedarian Reading Assessment, which will allow you to determine your student's level. You can then select appropriate activities for your student. Beginning readers also benefit from phonemic awareness and letter recognition activities.

Once students have mastered the basics of sounding out words and have learned basic sight words, you can use sites like Starfall.com to get ideas for activities and to access online reading material. Your student can also use the free online reading tools available from ReadWriteThink.

More advanced readers can further their fluency and comprehension by studying roots, prefixes and suffixes at Scholastic (younger readers) or Michigan State University (older readers).

You can find more ideas for teaching someone to read at many of the websites listed at FLReads.org.
