Read-along books are a great tool for children learning to read. Have them read a page to you, and then click on the narration to see if they were right! If not, pause the narration and have them try again. You and your child can also do it the other way around where they listen first and then repeat. Hearing the words pronounced will help them understand the meaning of the text.
