PARENTS: You can teach your child ways to learn new words. Teachers cannot possibly teach students the meaning of every new word they see or read. Children should be taught how to use dictionaries to learn word meanings, how to use known words and word parts to figure out other words, and how to get clues about a word from the rest of the sentence. On average, children need about two years of instruction in letter-sound relationships to become good spellers as well as readers .MY WORD: Children should be taught to read as young as possible.
