Teach them the alphabet, just to get them familiar with letters and the sounds they make - both seperately and together - then read to them. Encourage them to read behind you, scrolling their fingers across the words as they go. At first, they'll only be "reading" from memory, but eventually, they'll begin to recognize patterns in the words that they are reading and incorporate them outside of the book (noticing that c-a-t refers to cats on tv as well as in my storybook). By the time they learn to actually write the letters, they'll remember how to spell certain words when it's convenient.

(1st) pick up some adult classes so you can Communicate with him instead of sounding like an illiterate whore like you do in this question.

Make sure your daughter understands the alphabet and what sound(s) each letter makes.  Then use a basic book and read it with her.  You can read one page and she can read the next.  If she is stuck on a word, instead of telling her the word, help her sound it out.  Another strategy to tell her is to look at the pictures to figure out what the word might be.  I hope this helps.

We have two history 'spines' - our primary sources for history:\nThe Kingfisher History Encyclopedia and \nThe Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia of World History\n\nDepending on the age of your child(ren), I would start with the Usborne book (good for early elementary), then move on to the Kingfisher book.  Both of these books use a similar format (1-2 page spread about a particular topic with pictures and notes), but the Kingfisher's reading level is a bit higher.  I would also supplement with topic-specific books from the library.  That's how we do history.\n\nIt would be impossible to teach history without including religion - so many of the world history events were at least started because of religion (think of the Crusades).  The great thing about homeschooling is that you can teach your child(ren) how YOU feel and what you believe about the religious aspects of these events.

Give them small pieces of text so that they may follow along as you read to them.  Ultimately, you will want them to take turns reading aloud.  I know this has gone "out of fashion" in the classroom, but it really works.  You will be modeling tone, cadence, pronunciation, etc.  I am currently teaching a literacy unit in a tenth grade classroom.  We do this every day.  This is what they were missing......

Read to him, talk to him (no baby talk). Go on walks together and examine plants, flowers and animals you see along the way. Play simple board games with him. Make learning fun and he will respond by wanting to learn. We did this with our grand daughter and she is in 1st Grade an A Honor roll student, and loves to learn, it's an adventure for her. Don't put any pressure on your son though, make everything a game. We bought things like a plastic table mat with clocks on one side where she could draw in the hands of the clock to tell the time she went to school, came home, had lunch etc. On the reverse of the mat is the same thing but in written sentences with spaces for her to fill in the missing word. Another table mat we bought for her is a map of the world (simplified), on the reverse is a map of the USA with all the states outlined and named. We bought jig saw puzzles for her from the time she could hold something and place it where she wanted it to go (rather than just wildly throw it). Start with 10 or 12 piece puzzles and build up to the bigger ones.\nKids learn an amazing amount of stuff very quickly, they like to poke about in dirt-make that a learning thing, is the dirt wet or dry, what kind of stones are in the dirt, are there any bugs in the dirt, how many bugs are there? After finishing with the dirt we go wash our hands and feel and see the soap wash all the dirt and germs off, look at the colors on the soap bubbles on our hands. The possibilities are endless with young children, just make it fun!

I recommend movies with close caption.  Books that are interesting and related to topics the person finds interesting.  Make him read short perios (15 minutes), then have him wrtie a short composition about the book he was reading.  Show him what kind of sentences he is using, and compare them to the gramatical structure of the book.

Try "The Displine Book" by Doctor Sears.\n\nThe main thing to recognize is that there is no magic punishment that is going to stop them from misbehaving. No matter what method you use, you have to be prepared to use a lot of repetition!

Read to them and teach them to do things..any simple thing like making a grilled cheese sandwich or sorting laundry ....opens dialog and helps them with the learning process. Besides it can be good quality time together.

Think about what else she's interested in and then find ways to integrate reading into that hobby.  If she likes soccer ask her if she knows when soccer was started - when she says no - help her look it up in the library.  If she has a favorite TV show try getting some of the book tie-ins or even a book that's similar to her favorite episode (if she liked it when Dora explored a mine then get a book with a similar plot)\n\nWhen you read with her take turns reading a paragraph each and not only should you try to be patient with her - when it's your turn you can sometimes pretend to have trouble with a word and get her to help you.\n\nLike a lot of other posters have already said reading in front of her is one of the best things you can do.  I also loved the "Read to Rex" idea!
