Giving an education for life, the gift of reading and helping your child on the road to being a competent reader are some of the greatest gifts that we as parents can give. Here at Teach Your Child To Read we obviously give books at Christmas to our children but we try to establish a balance between enjoyment and education in the reading that our children do.

This Christmas our eldest will get a set of books that will surprise her, obviously I cannot say too much on the blog here. Father Christmas will bring a lot of Usborne Early readers for our 5 year old and our 3 year old will be getting a lot of Usbornes first letter sounds books with the emphasis being on phonics now that she recognises many of the letters and is able to write her own name.

How are you going to help your child to read this Christmas? Can we suggest getting on over to our Usborne books page and ordering a lot of books. Apart from the obvious educational benefits there are more social benefits too to reading with your child. The bond between you and your little ones is increased and these books will grow to become their favourites as they get used to the fact that they are identified with the first books they are able to read independently.

Look out for our great offers coming up too in the New Year when we will be selling off any stock we have in packets for specific ages and abilities at discounts of up to 30%. We look forward to receiving you orders and helping you to help to teach your child to read.
