[quote=Anonymous]Patience (easier said than done when she’s frustrated and comparing herself to friends, I know). It sounds like she’s got the interest and foundation, and 5.5 is still very young for putting all of the pieces together. It’s great that she’s interested in you reading more advanced content to her, that will serve her very well in the future. She knows the individual sounds, but can she combine them into one sound in her head? So a+t says “at” not “ahh tttt”? If she has cat memorized, can she work on sounding out mat and hat? I would practice that level of phonics with individual words, not books, since she’s “too” good at memorizing. That’s IF she really wants to keep working on it over the summer. If not, take a break and just keep reading to her. Kindergarten and first grade are heavy phonics and I’d bet good money it will click for her and she’ll progress rapidly once it does.[/quote]
