Start by reading the book aloud to your child, taking time to talk about the pictures. This is will help your child see that pictures often give clues about the story.
Over a period of time, try to read the same book several times so that your child becomes familiar with the story and the words and phrases. Gradually your child will want to read the book aloud with you. It helps to run your finger under the words as you say them.
