[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say reading what do you mean?

DC (4) knows all letters and can read/write certain very simple words. (Dog, mom, dad, etc) but they are not reading actual books yet.  We will be going to public school.[/quote]

When I say my 5 year old can read, I mean she can read a Madeleine or Cat in the Hat or Fancy  Nancy book completely on her own (and she does this often in her room.) She’s become interested in longer books and likes reading things like Magic Tree House and Harry Potter together — as in she reads a page and then I read 2 pages out loud. She has the ability to read these longer books on her own but she likes doing it together better. I’m still checking out picture books for her to read on her own, but we only read chapter books together. All of this started post pandemic, the summer before kindergarten when she started showing more of an interest in reading. We never bothered with memorizing sight words or anything like that. I just pointed to words and showed her what sound the letters make when we put them together. [/quote]
