Beginning Reader

Here is a 5 year old Beginning Reader. It is exciting to watch him begin his journey as a reader!

In this video, our reader is reading an Alphabet Book. Each page has one word with a supporting photograph. All words begin with the same letter. The teacher has chosen an “H” book since this is the first letter of the child’s name.

Watch how our reader takes the plunge and begins to read.
