What is the definitive guide to teaching reading by Hilary Erickson?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse.

I don’t currently have a single book called “The Definitive Guide to Teaching Reading,” but I do have several resources where I share how I approached teaching my kids to read at home and how parents can support what’s happening at school. One key resource is my podcast episode “Teaching Reading with Dr. Marnie Ginsberg of Reading Simplified,” where we talk through:

• Why an early, positive start with reading matters
• Core skills kids need (letter sounds, phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle)
• Simple, playful activities parents can weave into everyday life
• Using the library and kid-led interests to build motivation

If you tell me your child’s age and reading level, I can point you to more specific strategies and activities.

How old is your child, and what are they doing with reading right now?
