[quote=Anonymous]Have been trying to teach 5.5yo DD to read for awhile and it's not working at all. She has a ton of interest - has always loved books and being read aloud to. She gets frustrated that I can't read to her whenever she wants (like when we get a bunch of new books from the library). A lot of her friends can read and so she really wants to as well. But it's not coming together at all. We tried Bob books - she easily memorizes them but then when she sees the same simple word in another context (like Cat) she has no idea and can't sound it out. She feels frustrated and it almost feels like a mental block on even trying. Unfortunately the books she wants to me to read to her are now way more advanced, so they are not good for just naturally picking up words. Everything else is there - writing letters, knowing what sounds they make, knowing how to spell her name and a few other words. Would love any tips from anyone who's been there and what helped![/quote]
