Home Care
The WORDS early-reader method of teaching preschoolers to read is used, by Jonathan Whitcomb, in this family home daycare. How does
it work? Consider an example: a dog-
picture is shown to the children, but with the word "dog" clearly printed next to the image.
The children are told the difference between the picture of a dog and the word. Then another page is shown to them, a page with only
the word
"dog." Children quickly learn to read whole words this way,
even three-year-olds, in many cases, can learn to read.
