[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4 year old can recognize a lot of sight words without any pictures. They could be random single words or words within a sentence. He can tell me what those words mean. However, when I test him about spelling, he cannot spell any words, including simple word like "eat or his name". He can spell words when he look at them but not from his memory. He knows all letters & phonics. And, he does not know how to write any letters, except letter o & i. Are these all age appropriate for 4 year old can recognize many sight words, but not able to spell or write at all?[b] I have tried to teach him to memorize spelling about some simple words, it does not work. I think my approach is wrong. [/b]

And, any kid friendly books highly recommended for rhyme words?

I suggest you stop trying to teach your child before he starts being frustrated, thinking he "can't" do it, and dislikes learning. Read together, give him lots of paper and different writing tools [i]to draw, write, or play with as he chooses[/i] and relax.[/quote]
