We’re assuming that a Grade 1 student has already been taught how to read/sound out words and simply needs to practice reading aloud with a parent or older sibling. If your student does not know how to read, concentrate on that skill first. Click on any title to see that book’s details in our CM Bookfinder.

| 1 | First Steps begins with a section for the “teacher” to read aloud that sets the plot for the story. The student then finishes the story with simpler wording. This practice is continued for the first few chapters in the book. | |
| 2 | Continue verbal reading practice until you feel certain the child is reading with ease and comprehension. At that point you can “turn him loose” to read some of his assignments independently. You can evaluate his comprehension of what he reads by listening to his narrations. |
