[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep practicing the letter sounds.  Make sure these are VERY solid. You basically need to be able to point to any letter and she knows the sound in a second.Then, practice sounding out how they come together as a word. (A-T). Try to get her to say the letter sounds of a word to confirm she know it and hears it,  then do the same again but this time without a breath between the letters. (AaaahhT) You can drag out the letters if needed and then work on shortening how long she drags it out. But you have to say them without taking a breath.

Be sure you are only saying the distinct letter sound and not adding additional sounds that aren’t really there.  Also try reading some rhyming books.

Lastly, read the more advanced books to her.  Kids can often listen and understand more advance books.  Plus the additional vocabulary and hearing words is good for them.  And it keeps them interested in reading.[/quote]

This. You should be reading the advanced books to her just as a fun story time. Do the phonics separately. A good book is Hop on Pop, for when she gets to the point of moving on from the phonics to a book. [/quote]
