Read the full research How to Teach Children to Read 4. Show children exactly how to sound out words. After children have learned two or three sound-spelling correspondences, begin teaching them how to blend the sounds into words. Show them how to move sequentially from left to right through spellings as they "sound out," or say the sound for each spelling. Practice blending words composed of only the sound-spelling relationships the children have learned every day.
