Best Reading Resources to Teach Your Child to Read

The best way to teach your child how to read is through reading aloud with them. But sometimes you are too busy or don’t know what kind of books they will enjoy and it can be difficult finding the time for that. I have compiled a list of some of my favorite children’s books that are great for teaching kids how to read, below!

Here is a list of the best reading resources to teach your child how to read:

Best Books to Teach Your Child to Read

Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss

This funny, engaging book is perfect for teaching phonological awareness skills. The rhyme and repetition make it a great tool to use when learning these skills! I heavily relied on this book throughout the process of teaching my daughter how to read!

ABC Book by Dr. Seuss

The ABC book is a great way for kids to learn their letters, words, and sounds. It’s made with whimsical drawings and nonsensical words that will keep your little ones entertained as they go through the book page by page. This book is perfect for teaching letter and sound recognition.

The Cat in the Hat

The Cat in the Hat is a must-have for any child learning to read. The rhymes and repetitions make it easy to understand words, while the rhythm helps teach how they are pronounced correctly!

While reading this book with your child you can ask them the following questions:

  • How many sets of rhyming words can you find in the text? Do you notice any kind of pattern with rhyming pairs?
  • What would happen in real life after the Cat’s zany behavior?
  • Do you think the kids will be honest with their mom about what actually happened in the house that day?

Playful Discovery Books

The Baby Einstein Playful Discovery books are amazing. My daughter took them everywhere she went (airplane, hotel, Oma’s house, etc..) and they kept her quiet and occupied. These books help to foster a love of learning for your child. I began reading these books to my kids from day 1. All you have to do is pay for the shipping and you will get a box of board books that your child will love from the very beginning!

Word Families Book Series

This is an amazing reading resource! These books seriously taught my daughter how to read independently. Each book is about a specific word family and contains frequently used sight words.
