This document provides guidance on engaging participants and teaching reading using appropriate tools and methods. It recommends finding where participants are, providing tasks they need and want to choose themselves. Participants should experience words, learn words, become aware of sounds, link sounds to letters, and work on one new phonetic concept at a time like diphthongs or graphemes. Reading full words should wait until decoding is understood. The document also discusses using listening to phonemes and reading with their own words to teach reading effectively.
