Quick Start Guide Read the book WITH your child. You read the “regular” text, and he/she reads the big, red words, sort of like reading the different parts in a play.

Help your child sound out the words as needed. Read the book several times. This helps develop the eye muscles and left-to-right reading patterns.

Don’t rush it. Bodybuilders don’t train in a day – neither does a child.

And most important of all, HAVE FUN! 4

(Read this page TO your child.)

Today we are going to practice the “eh” sound. Can you say, “eh”? The “eh” sound is in lots of words, like –

Elephant elevator.

Endless eggs.

Empty envelopes.

Usually when there is more than one of something, we add a “sss” sound to the end of the word to show there is more than one.

(Read this page TO your child.)

Here’s a way to remember the letter ‘g’ The letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ have arms that reach up above their “bodies”

But the letter ‘g’ has a FOOT under its “body” 38

A foot is always at the end of a leg, not the middle or the top:

So it helps to remember that the letter with the little “foot” (the letter ‘g’) is always at the end of the word, ‘leg.’

leg 39

Hold your left hand flat to make the letter ‘l’ –

Point your right thumb down to make the letter ‘g’ –

e Curl your thumb to make the little “foot.”
