Strategies for beginning readers
How to Read with a Beginning Reader
By: Joanne Meier
Most beginning readers are inconsistent. Learn more about the characteristics of a beginning reader and simple techniques and tips to nurture your child's skills and joy in reading.
Sometimes parents of beginning readers wonder if their child is on track with reading. They don't understand why their child can't read a word today they were able to read yesterday. They think their child reads too slowly. They grumble that their child only wants to read the same book over and over again.
Most beginning readers are inconsistent. They may know a word one day but not the next. They may read a particular word correctly on one page, but they have to stop and sound it out again on the next page. When you listen to a beginning reader, you hear short, choppy words with little attention to punctuation. Sometimes a new reader can tell you very little about what they just read.
At the beginning stage of reading, all of these reading behaviors are to be expected. Beginning readers are building their fluency. This means they're working to make several skills, like matching a letter to a sound and decoding, more smooth, accurate and automatic. Without fluency, each word must be decoded, and that takes time and energy. This means that other reading behaviors like reading with expression and comprehension have less of a focus.
When reading with a beginning reader, it's important to do the following:
- Give them time to read. Reading is a skill, and like many other skills, it takes time to develop. A beginning reader should spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to or with someone. The books read during this time should be relatively easy for your child.
- Let them reread the same books. Rereading the same words over and over again helps build fluency. Over time, you'll notice that your child will stop less often to decode words.
- Encourage attention to the print. If your child is stuck on a word, help him look at the first letter(s) and encourage him to sound it out. If it's a difficult word, or one that can't be sounded out, simply supply the word and continue reading.
- Take turns reading. By listening to your fluent reading, your child will hear what good readers sound like. After you've read a short passage, ask your child to reread the same passage. This provides a chance for her to practice reading with expression.
- Have realistic expectations. For example, students should be reading approximately 60 words per minute correctly by the end of first grade, and 90-100 words per minute correctly by the end of second grade. Your child's teacher can help you learn your child's reading rate.
It's important to nurture your beginning reader in a way that helps make reading a daily habit and a lifelong love. By being aware of what's normal for a beginning reader, and by knowing how to help them progress, you're sure to instill those qualities in your reader.

How Do You Teach Reading Effectively?
Reading is a complex exercise.
We have to teach kids to read the written word and to build vocabulary simultaneously.
On top of all this, as students grow, they need to master more complex reading skills, such as inferencing.
So what are the best reading strategies that teachers and parents need to teach? And HOW do you teach them?
To best answer these questions, you must approach reading instruction based on your students/child’s developmental level:
- Early / Beginning Reader
- Emergent Reader
- Advanced Reader
You will be able to teach reading more effectively when you recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each developmental level and cater to those.
Tanya–The Butterfly Teacher, shares reading comprehension teaching tips for advanced readers, so in this post, I will share tips for early and beginning readers.
Let’s jump right in!
Vocabulary-Building Strategies for Early Readers
A highly effective way to teach reading to beginners is to help them build extensive background knowledge and vocabulary skills.
As you teach early readers more vocabulary, make sure the learning is playful, because most kids learn best via play!
- 1–Build Their Oral Vocabulary Through Conversation:
Encourage children to frequently interact verbally with you and others. More conversation will build on the vocabulary they may already know. - 2–Combine Pictures with Vocabulary Words & Actions:
For example, put up a poster outside your class with signage for shaking hands, hugging, greeting with a bow/folded hands, or just smiling, and get the kids to point at how they want to be greeted. Encourage the kids to say the words aloud and then act them out. - 3–Play Games to Identify Everyday Items:
Boring teaching will make reading seem like a chore! Make learning to read more fun with games that help children build vocabulary.As children grow more proficient and confident pronouncing words for things like vegetables, fruits, simple objects, colors, plants, actions such as mowing, sweeping, washing, drying, etc.–they are forming the building blocks for strong reading fluency.
Simple Ways to Teach Pre-Literacy Skills
The vocabulary word building tips from above help beginning readers develop more background knowledge that influences their reading.
Here are simple but effective ways to teach reading to beginners who need more pre-literacy skills.
- 4–Introduce Kids to Books With No Text:
A few of my favorite examples for beginning readers are:
Free Fall by David Weisner,
Up and Up by Shirley Hughes,
and Noah’s Ark by Peter Spier.As you share these picture books, let each child “read it” on their own, say the story out loud for others, or even interpret a page in their own words to develop pre-literacy skills.
- 5–Start a Story Prompt:
Use flash cards or picture books to begin a make-believe story. Then allow your students/kids to create the next part or line of the story you’ve started. This helps them build the foundation for sequencing in reading.
- 6–Read Simple Rebus Readers:
These fun books help beginning readers answer your story prompts, identify sight words, and build vocabulary–which are all important pre-literacy skills.
What is the Main Difference Between Alphabetic Principle & Phonemic Awareness?
Let’s pause here to quickly dive into an important topic that relates to beginning readers.
Alphabetic understanding vs. letter-sound relationships!
What in the world is alphabetic principle and how is it different from phonemic awareness?
Many people use the words “alphabetic principle” interchangeably with “phonics.” It relates to letter-symbol relationships and spoken words.
Phonemic awareness involves breaking word parts down to isolate and identify specific sounds or phonemes.
To effectively teach reading to beginners, parents and teachers must use different teaching strategies for these two reading skills!
Let’s continue with specific examples
Easy Ways to Teach Alphabetic Principle
- 7–Introduce Single Letters and Their Sound:
English is not a phonetic language, but language learning is a lot about listening and ears like sounds. Confusion can set in but reducing pace and increasing fun games for practice can help. - 8–Get Kids to Say Words Which Start With That Sound:
This can be combined with the same teaching strategies that you use to teach vocabulary words. Put pictures with words next to everyday items. Emphasize the sound that initial letter makes. - 9–Give Sounds for Single Vowels:
Like ‘e’ for egg - 10–Give Sounds for Single Consonants:
Like ‘h’ for hut
- 11–Do Kinesthetic & Tactile Activities to Learn Letters:
Write letters in the sand or in shaving cream. Use magnetic letters, ropes, and other items that beginning readers can touch as a fun way to build letter recognition. - 12–Identify Letters among other letters (like a design:)
Before kids can identify letters as letters, they can play at spotting them. E.g Write ‘egg’ on the board with space in between. Now hold up the letter ‘e’ and ask the kids to spot it in what’s written. Add more words on the board which include ‘e’, and ask them to spot all the occurrences. - 13–Complete Letter Crafts Decorating Objects Which Start With That Letter
Ideas for Helping Beginning Readers Build Phonological Awareness
- 14–Play Phonological Awareness Games:
Pair your students in two teams. One team will say words and the other team has to say a word with the sound it ends onFor example: one team may say the word “red.” The other team will need to say a word like “dog” since the word red ends with “d.”
This type of game can be difficult for some kids, so feel free to modify it with flashcards, pictures, or other ways to assist kids. If it’s too frustrating for them, they will not feel confident to play, which will lead to possible tantrums.
- 15–Get Kids to Call Out Rhyming Words With You
- 16–Form Various Words With The Same Set of Sounds
- 17–Play Rhyming Games With Nonsense Words:
Kids love gibberish! Plus, using nonsense words heightens their awareness of word sounds and word parts. - 18–Try basic tongue twisters: (you will have kids rolling in laughter!)
She sells sea shells on the sea shore, but the shells she sells are not the real sea shells’. It’s better to start with the first four words, and slowly add the rest meaningfully in steps, or it might turn into a gibberish spewing noisy classroom!
More Effective Ways to Teach Reading to Beginners
As your children/ students advance through pre-literacy skills, alphabetic principle, and phonemic awareness activities, you can effectively teach them more foundational reading strategies like the ones in this section.
- 19–Start Small with Sight Words
- 20–Enjoy the rebus world of words:
Show an image and look at the word. These readers really help kids build nonfiction reading skills too!
(Amazon affiliate link)
- 21–Use a picture and break what it’s called into sounds/phonemes (for starters, use easily identified animals like cat, bat, etc.) Sounds outnumber the letters in the alphabet, so practice-practice-practice
- 22–Work with small words with fewer sounds and then go to longer words
- 23–Play games to change the order to form new words (do build gibberish words, don’t be afraid)
- 24–Introduce syllabification if your class is ready
- 25–Introduce onomatopoeia – words that mimic the sound of the object
What’s the Absolute Best Way to Teach Children to Read?
Kids learn at their own pace.
As no two kids are alike, teachers really have to individually nurture each child on their reading journey. So there’s no ONE absolute best way to teach reading to every single child.
This post features lots of effective ways to teach reading to beginners so that you have more than one strategy to try.
