Traditional ways of learning aren't the best, and don't work for many kids. Most of us make these mistakes. The truth seems counter-intuitive at first.

1
Teaching the letter names, like in the alphabet song. Instead, teach only the letter sounds.
2
Teaching the capital letters. Instead, teach only the lower case letters at first.
3
Waiting until the child is older, can talk, etc. Instead, start phonics as young as 18 months.
4
Teaching sight words. Instead, teach only by sounding out words. Phonics structure the brain for success.
5
Finishing the whole alphabet before making words. Instead, start making small words with known letters as soon as possible.
6
Not spending enough time with the child one-on-one. Instead, parents must spend quality time teaching phonics to their kids.
7
Using force, punishment, or criticism. Instead, have no control issues or power struggles. When the child wants to stop, then STOP.
8
Using baby talk or simple words only. Instead, raise your kid's vocabulary by using normal language.
9
Not using touch with reading. Instead, use tactile or kinesthetic teaching and have the child touch each letter.
10
Not teaching the right way, early. Instead, follow The Godfrey Method as found in the book, "A Pretty Girl Was Alpha Bette."
