Attention difficulties and reading. Multi-sensory literacy tools. Pre-literacy skills There are certain pre-literacy skills educators have identified as important in preparing kids for reading instruction.
For this reason, some phonics instruction is essential. Familiar words Because they are fluent speakers, kids have a base vocabulary to begin with. This might include their own name and other concrete nouns that can be prompted using pictures. One word at a time In the beginning, too much text can be overwhelming for a new reader. Make sure there are not too many words on a page and start by having them sound out single terms before progressing to phrases and sentences.
Ample exposure and lots of repetition Reading words that contain the same letters and letter combinations and seeing those words multiple times helps kids practice early reading skills.
Illustrations and big print Images can help a child in the beginning by prompting him or her to recognize the word they are reading. It helps if words are large enough and printed in bold, easy to read font. High frequency vocabulary Memorizing words that are likely to show up in most books for children helps reduce the cognitive load associated with sounding out phrases and simple sentences.
Kids can use flashcards and practice spelling at the same time. Books they want to read Children are often more motivated to read if they are interested in the material to begin with. Take kids to the library and let them select the books they want to start with. If the text proves too challenging, at least you have an idea of what topics they are interested in. Taking on a challenge Starting with books that are too hard can be discouraging for an early reader. Keep kids motivated by selecting a mix of easy material that is at their level, interspersed with challenging books that are one step beyond.
Graded readers Many English novels and stories have been adapted for readers of different levels. Check out graded readers and try using several levels in progression to ensure familiar vocabulary and a consistent increase in difficulty.

A casual, but effective method for teaching reading. While phonics is widely considered by educators and researchers to be the best approach to teach reading to children, many parents have found it just as effective to casually and regularly read to their child while following the words with their finger.
Children learn by modeling. While each child learns differently and there are certainly children that require a more formal, structured approach, reading to a child regularly can work just as well as direction instruction. For parents seeking a more gentle approach to learning to read that inspires a lifelong love of reading, an approach of reading regularly to their child at bedtime, meals or other free moments during the day while following the text with their finger can work to teach many children to read.
