[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes because I taught him before he started K. I spent around $20 buying the book Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons. He was 4 when we started and did a lesson almost every day for 6 months. He repeated some lessons and the longer lessons we did over 2 days but by 4 1/2 he was fluently reading.

Your child is older. If you do a lesson a day you would finish by May. Don't wait for the school to teach him to read. Too many schools encourage guessing and memorizing little books instead of teaching phonics so kids learn to sound out any word.

Best $20 I ever spent on my kids education! [/quote]

I think this sounds fine as long as your child enjoys it and doesn’t get frustrated.

That said, I did practically zero to teach my kids to read. One read well in K, the other in 1st. I let preschool and elementary school teach them and figured they would learn when they were ready, and they did. Before I am flamed- yes we read together every night before bed since toddler age, and did any “assignments” from school as instructed. But I did not sit and quiz or actively try to teach them or anything. [/quote]
