• Even the fact that the child has learned the alphabet and confidentlyrecognizes letters, adds letters to syllables, and then syllables into words, does not mean that he has learned to read. It is necessary to explain to the child the meaning of every incomprehensible word. Let the child in his own words describe what he read, and express his opinion.
