How I got interested in methods to teach reading

We lived in the US and my daughter went to school there. I saw different methods of teaching, reading to kids. The one that I especially liked, was the one followed by the Montessori school that she attended there.

She was reading earlier than the peers and I credit that to the natural and systematic approach to reading and phonics. I moved back to India and totally forgot about it. Till one day when I remembered how my daughter was reading at a young age. So I developed my own method as an extension to the Montessori method. I taught this to my son and I saw results. He was not only reading earlier but now he finds it enjoyable. He is far ahead of his peers and has developed the main thing, that confidence. He attends Jr. Kg. but reads better than the Sr. Kg. kids.

Later, I started a library for young kids and educated the mothers about this. All those who followed it saw good results and I am encouraged to share it with a wider audience.

My next post talks about how you start off with your kid.
