[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. Awesome book, easy to do with your kid. We started the summer before kindergarten and didn't do it every day, so finished around Christmas. It really did help my son, I don't think he would have been at the same level at the end of the year or going into first grade if we hadn't gone through the book at home. If she isn't even recognizing all her letters yet, I would definitely do something additional at home; the teacher won't have a lot of time to work with her individually. http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345662479&sr=8-1&keywords=teach+your+child+to+read+in+100+easy+lessons[/quote] This. We started at about 4 doing it occassionally, stopping for a while and going back when she needed a confidence booster. She is 70 lessons in at four and a half, and she can read simple books easily, but is just starting with two-syllable words. I highly recommend this program![/quote] That book looks great. Does anyone know if this book would work for kids just shy of 3? Our 2.8 year old knows all her letters (thank you daycare!) and has been asking us at night during book time "what does that word say?" while she points at words. I think they do it in daycare while the kids sit during circle time. And we have no idea what we're doing and don't want to push her or discourage her. Does that make sense? Our plan was just to keep reading to her and try to figure it all out later. [/quote]
