The best way to teach kids to read is to have their parents read to them, and sit with them individually and work with them on sounding out words.

Then you just read with them over and over and over. Every night you read with them, and then you provide them with access to books. Take them to the library check out as many books as they want and then you sit and read with them every single night. That is how you teach kids to read.
