Tracking the words from left to right as you read is very important. Physically using your finger to follow under the words you are reading helps students keep their place. Additionally, it encourages the child to notice all of the sounds in each individual word. Tracking was fun during our first 1-1 story because we were able to use witch fingers! As we read aloud everyone was able to follow (whether it was their turn to read aloud, or to follow along). Feel free to model this method as you read aloud to your child each evening at home.
