It is easy for parents to teach their children how to read. Understanding phonics is the first place to start. At a presentation at Bank Street Book Store, developmental psychologist tells parents why they should teach their children to read and why so many children are not learning to read in school -- because many schools don't teach phonics properly. Parents can solve that problem by teaching their kids themselves. Dr. Daria's Steps to Reading workbooks make teaching systematic phonics easy and fun for the parents and the children.
