How do children learn to read? In the mother tongue… They read pictures They recognise the word shapes They associate words with images They associate words with meanings They ‘read’ words in chunks of sound They use strategies to decode new words

And in a second language… It’s very similar … except sometimes: There’s a different script The words work differently There are differences between sound and spelling
