I have now prepared the first part of our teach your child to read online course. We will be uploading all of this first course with the 26 letter phonics classes into the autoresponder for you to subscribe to and follow. We are alos developing a course which will be available at the end of this first course covering the remaining 18 phonemes  and another one for the sight words. The autoresponder and invitation to sign up for the free course will appear on the site in the next few days.

I am recommending one letter per week in the non-alphabetical order described in the phonics section of the site, and have included many different activities to do with each letter so you can take your child from the most basic level of understanding up to decoding simple phonetic words and phrases in no time at all. I have scoured the web for the best resources over the years as a teacher and parent, and will also include links to relevant and useful resources taking the pain out of the search and allowing you to concentrate your efforts on teaching your child to read doing what really works.

Meanwhile, if you feel your child is ready for a faster pace of learning the letter sounds and want to get the whole course upfront rather than waiting on a week by week basis, then we will be making it available for you in that way too. To register an interest simply send an email to lynne@teachyourchildtoread.net and we will mail you when it is up and ready and give you details of how to get it.

I hope the theory I have explained in the other pages here will help you understand how you can help at home and inspire you to take the first positive step to helping your child get a head start in the fun and rewarding process of learning to read.
