Post 4- Teaching My Son How to Read

My 5 year old son, who is in kindergarten got a head start in day care in the last two years, but that doesn't mean he can read a full book on his own. As a kindergarten student he learns math and reading. Each week he is supposed to read a book and write a summary about it, this week he chose "The Bears' Vacation." I decided that a good way to teach him is to have him read the words after me, repetitively, then write down the words he doesn't know and rewrite them on a sheet of paper so he can remember the words and also knows how to spell them. He looks forward to doing his homework every week.
