What are some ways to help that struggling new reader with phonics?

Word Trips...

When your child stumbles on a word, give quick cues to help him or her remember the word, how it's pronounced, and what it means. Build on your child's existing knowledge and don't try to make the word into a complex lesson. Simply attend to the immediate need and move ahead with the reading.
