YOUR CHILD'S LANGUAGE SKILLS UNDERPIN THEIR READING SUCCESS ...
A successful reader understands that writing is printed speech.
Reading involves mastering a code that is used by one’s culture to translate speech sounds into written symbols.
The word s-u-n is three letters spelling the sounds in the word sun. Hundreds of thousands of words are formed using a blend of some of the 44 sounds of the language. These words can be written down using a combination of letters. Reading involves looking at language, sounds, letters, words, sentences, stories and ideas.Many children on entering their first year of school do not have the familiarity with the sounds of English. They may come from a home where English is their second language. They do not hear it spoken on a day to day basis.
The sounds that many children hear in their early environment do not match the sounds of the language they are learning to read. Standard English is what children will hear in the English language classroom.
When teachers begin to teach reading they have to assume that their students have an adequate understanding of English. Many do not.
Therefore one fundamental basis for early reading failure rarely gets a mention. That is lack of adequate English language competence at the point of school entry.
Reading to your young child on a daily basis will expand their word knowledge, general knowledge and language competence.

Learning is a struggle for many children since they do not have the language skills necessary to tackle learning to read. Without a sound knowledge of sounds, letters, words, and meanings in language, children struggle to cope with learning to read. It is estimated this is as high as one in five children. From the start they see themselves as failing. For self protection they become discouraged and resistant to the whole process.
Life in the world today is not easy. Family and environmental factors place a lot of stress on young children. These can include
Loss and breakup in the family Poor nutrition Family mental and physical health problems Children living apart from their parents Parents under job and financial stress Little attention given by parents to school matters including homeworkSitting in front of a television set does not help a child to develop language skills.
Speaking to family members does.
One of the best things you can do for your young child is to limit their television viewing and reading to them for ten minutes a day from uplifting picture stories.
