Children Can Improve Reading Skills With Extra Home-Help
The research has appeared in Learning and Instruction.
Because letters in the English alphabet sound different for various words, it's a harder language to master than Greek or Finnish, for example, which have more consistent letter sounds, or phonemes.
"It's not only purchasing the book and perhaps reading to the child, and the child having a passive role in this interaction," Discovery News quoted George Georgiou, an educational psychologist at the University of Alberta who contributed to the study, as saying.
He went on: "It should be very active. You should be asking questions to your child: Would you change the title of the book? What do you think about the character names? What about the events of the story?"
The inconsistent letter-to-phoneme relationship also occurs in Chinese.
Georgiou said: "The paradigm of Chinese, we know, is that because of the extreme difficult nature of the language, the kids go to school earlier.
"They start teaching them these simple characters early on."
