They are listed in order of increasing difficulty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend that you read beginner reader books TO your child until they are very familiar with them before you actually have the child read them to you. This will help build their confidence! When your child comes across words they don\u2019t know, it\u2019s ok to just tell them what the word is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
