Beginning reading

Beginning reading is an essential stage in a child's literacy development. It refers to the initial steps a child takes to learn and understand written language. During this phase, children start to recognize and associate letters with their corresponding sounds and begin to decode simple words.

In the beginning reading stage, children typically engage in activities that focus on phonics, letter recognition, and basic sight words. They learn to identify individual letters, their sounds, and how they combine to form words. They practice blending sounds together to read and decode words.
