[quote=Anonymous]I’d decouple your reading to her and her reading to herself. She’ll read, and it doesn’t really matter if it is next month or at the start of first grade. What she could lose is the love of words and reading because learning to read is a slog for some kids (my son and I are both dyslexic, so I know of what I speak). Read out loud to her (or let her listen to audiobooks) all the wonderful things that are at her cognitive level but beyond her reading level. Open doors for her she can’t open on her own. Plan to keep doing that for as long as she’ll let you - I read out loud to my son until he was 11 or so, just like my dad did for me. When my son was in K I read him the first three Harry Potters, then took a break till he was in 2nd for the next few. After Potter we went through all the Percy Jackson books. He wasn’t a fan of the old classics I had loved so I didn’t push it - the point was to have him love the experience of reading.[/quote]
