No More Tears Reading ~ Part 2
By Jan Bedell,M.Ed., Master Neuro-Educational Specialist
In the previous newsletter, we talked about the Quick Flash Method. After you have used this method and your child has read through the Dick and Jane, or similar books, your child will be ready to read other books using the following method:
� parent reads one paragraph,
� child reads that same paragraph,
� parent reads next paragraph,
� child reads that same paragraph, etc.
In order to ensure the child is following along while you are read, pause every once in a while before reading a word you know he knows and let him say the word. Also, while the child is reading, don't listen to him struggle to sound out a word, just tell him the word. You will find the child's confidence begin to grow.
Don't forget to work on auditory processing in the meantime. You can order a booklet on auditory processing online at www.littlegiantsteps.com. When your child reaches an auditory processing level (digit span) of 6, you can add phonics back into his curriculum with a lot more success and a lot less frustration.

"Detailed Reading Comprehension"
It takes practice to become a really good reader. When you work with a program that has neuro-educational techniques embedded, then the bonuses compound into better sight- reading, visual processing ability, gaining an eye for detail, making "thinking" and "reasoning" decisions!
AND..... it's fun!
