Answer by charlie
it is a typical Grimm fairy-tale – many of which could frighten children if they are introduced to them too young
once the child understands that some animals eat other animals i see no reason to shield them from this story

Question–: What books/materials are best for teaching young children to read?
We live in a non-English speaking country and I need to be able to help my son (4 yr) learn to read English as well as the language they speak/teach at school. He speaks both languages fluently. What are the best methods to teach reading and what books should I buy (we have some Dr. Seuss, and others)?
Also, will teaching him to read in English be confusing to him as he is learning to read in French in school?
The following is the answer: (Hint: The reader is not the correct identification.)

Any book that has a subject matter he would enjoy. Read with him not to him.
Answer by Konswayla
You’re on the right track. Get some books he loves, and read them to him every day if you can.
Answer by T.G.
First, you’ll want to make sure that he knows letters and the most common sounds of the letters. You’ll want to make sure that he can say words if you only say the sounds (for example, you say /c/ /a/ /t/ and he says cat), or the other way around, you ask him what sounds are in the word cat.
As for reading TO him, you’ll want to read him as much as you can. Make sure that you pick both fiction and non-fiction titles and let him help decide what he wants you to read to him.
As for teachign him reading, I’d recommend the book “Teach Your Child To Read In 100 Easy Lessons”. It’s based on the researched-based program of Reading Mastery and is sequential, yet relatively easy to implement.
Good luck!

I like Writing Road to Reading by Romona Spalding, but it is difficult to use if you are not trained in using it. But,
Saxon (makers of the Saxon Math curriculum) make a phonics curriculum that is excellent. It is both thorough in scope and easy to use. It comes with all the things you need to teach the lessons, a script to follow so you can teach it with just a little preparation, and appropriate worksheet for practice of both reading a writing.
I used the earlier mentioned 100 easy lessons book and had to teach that child over again using a more phonetic approach. The book has special symbols marking all the letters that are not in regular books. I think it actually slows down the process.
Needless to say, at 4 years old it is probably more important to read aloud to him as much as you can. Read about things that interest him and you and his friends and his dad. Keep it as fun and interesting as possible. Stop when he’s tired or disinterested.
Teaching reading at 4 years old may be difficult and frustrating for both of you. Some kids read on their own at this age; others struggle and end up feeling like failures (this can make it difficult to help them learn to read for a long time.) If you have any doubt about his reading readiness, wait.
I have taught a 7 year old to read at a 3rd grade level in less than 36 hours. A four year old can take 200 or more hours to “maybe” learn the same skills. Readiness matters- it’s not a race. There is really not much for these little guys to read anyway. Receptive listening vocabulary learned from good story books is probably more important than reading vocabulary controlled early reader books.
So my recommendation is wait if you can. And look up Saxon Phonics online and check it out. It’s a little expensive but well worth it. You’ll get a good reader and a good speller.

Not really, they are both similar languages and use the same alphabet etc. A little pronunciation and spelling might be confusing but overall it should make him a better reader. I would try to find ‘older’ books, because many new children’s books are pretty awful – try beatrix potter or richard scary

New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan and Mayor Edward I. Koch hosted a special reading of Eddie Shapes Up, a children’s book written by the mayor, and launched Walk Ways, a new program that helps schools establish the importance of active transportation and gives them the resources to encourage walking among students. Schools can visit nyc.gov/dot to register, download lesson plans and connect with DOT safety educators for guidance and to develop tailored walk-to-school route plans. The Commissioner and Mayor joined fourth and fifth graders from P.S. 64 in Manhattan’s East Village for the event.
“With unprecedented safety redesigns and educational initiatives in all five boroughs, our streets are shaping up for New Yorkers of all ages to walk and bike more,” said DOT Commissioner Sadik-Khan. “By teaching students the benefits of active transportation, we’re helping them build healthy habits for life.”
“The most marvelous sight in New York City is to see youngsters, adolescents and adults cycling on the many bicycle paths we now have which separate bikers from vehicular traffic,” said Mayor Koch. “It is glorious to watch, and I wish I were young again to participate.”
