I’m so proud of my real-life friend, Jenae. Not only has she created a wildly successful blog, I Can Teach My Child (if you have young children or work with young children, you’ll find loads of inspiration and ideas there!), but she’s just released her very first ebook (something I’ve been encouraging her to do for a long time!)
I Can Teach My Child to Read is a step-by-step guide for helping parents with the basic fundamentals of teaching a child to read in simple, easy-to-understand language that can be implemented the minute you set this book down. Jenae was a first grade teacher for three years and has her Master’s in Education, plus she’s the mom of two young boys. So she has lots of experience with teaching young children to read!

You are your child’s first and most important teacher! Whether your child will attend public school, private school, or be homeschooled…what you do in the early years of her life will greatly impact her reading ability for years to come.

My 2nd grader is having a hard time with reading comprehension. He reads words great, but he doesn’t comprehend anything when he if done. Will this book help me help him? or is it for teaching younger children?
The longest chapter of the book is dedicated to comprehension strategies. I think you’ll find it beneficial for your second grader as well.
Just ordered it for my kindle – can’t wait to read it tonight. Thank you so much.
Bought it! Thanks! Good Reminders! Altho’ I have a degree in El. Ed., and taught
K for 3 years, I appreciate the great reminders for my own 3 year old boy!
Thank you – I have been researching this very topic as I feel my 4 yo is a touch behind in preparing to read. There are so many huge volumes on the subject and I was confused about which to buy and wondered which one would be the simplest for me so I wouldn’t get discouraged! It’s nice to get a referral from someone that has already read the book and to know that it is simple and straightforward. I’m going to give it a shot!
