Print some pages.
Do just a couple
at a time to start.
Later, you can do a
half-dozen or more
in one sitting.
Have your kid
sound out all the words
on the pages.
You can help with the
letter sounds, but don't
say the words.
Make the kid
sound them out.
Send the kid off
to a nice quiet place
with a big fat pen
to trace all the words.
If you must watch,
watch from a distance.
The kid will digest
the stuff better alone.
Have your kid
sound out all the words
with you again.
Review the pages the
next day and repeat
them as necessary.
Don't rush. The tortoise always wins in this race.

HINTComing down the home stretch. In this book
we cover common endings like ED and ING,
together with some simple compound words.
Again, all you have to do is what you've been
doing. Encourage the little guy to split each
word into parts and to assign a single sound
to each part. But note that the first part
may be a little bigger than before: HAN and
DY to make HANDY, or ROCK and ING to
make ROCKING.
