Download Your FREE Guide: 5 Common Mistakes in Early Literacy
As a dedicated parent, you're committed to providing the best possible educational start for your child. But the world of early literacy advice can often feel like a confusing landscape, filled with common missteps that, despite good intentions, can lead to unnecessary roadblocks.
Did you know that many later reading challenges, and even some dyslexia diagnoses, are often entirely preventable with the right early literacy instruction? This guide offers you the clarity and principled strategies needed to navigate these crucial early years with confidence.
In this FREE, practical guide, you'll discover:
Mistake #1: Ignoring Phonemic Awareness: Learn why this foundational skill is absolutely critical and how its absence can hinder all further sound-related reading instruction.
Mistake #2: Unclear Letter/Sound Instruction: Understand why teaching letter names before sounds (like with the alphabet song) can create unnecessary symbolic confusion for young learners and what to do instead.
Mistake #3: Unsystematic/Non-Explicit Phonics: Phonics is vital, but how it's taught matters immensely. Discover why "embedded phonics" often isn't enough and what truly systematic, explicit instruction looks like.
Mistake #4: Improper Use of Picture Books: Find out how children can appear to be "reading" picture books when they are actually memorizing or guessing from pictures, and how to use books to support genuine decoding skills.
Mistake #5: Teaching Words Primarily by Sight: Uncover the truth about "sight words" and why relying on visual memorization is inefficient and can be a common strategy used by children who develop dyslexia.
