Parent Reading Guide

BeanSprout Parent Reading Guide

Would you like to support your child’s English reading at home but feel unsure where to begin?

The BeanSprout Parent Reading Guide is a practical, easy-to-follow digital resource for parents of children aged eight and under. It introduces the BeanSprout Reading Method and shows you how to make shared reading enjoyable, purposeful and less stressful.

Inside the guide, you will learn how to:

• Choose books that suit your child
• Use your finger to guide your child beneath the words
• Talk about stories and support comprehension
• Focus on one repeated word after reading
• Help your child recognise familiar words in new sentences
• Use encouraging prompts when your child needs support
• Build a simple and consistent reading routine at home

The guide includes:

• A clear Learn section
• A practical Practise section
• Step-by-step reading activities
• Parent scripts and conversation prompts
• Original practice texts
• Word exploration activities
• Reflection pages and practice records
• A seven-day home practice plan
• Printable worksheets and word activities

You do not need to be a teacher, and your child does not need to read perfectly. The focus is on spending meaningful time together, building confidence and helping your child understand and enjoy books.

Every child develops differently, so you can repeat activities, take breaks and move at your child’s pace.
