[quote=Anonymous]I went through a similar thing with my child in kindergarten. Do you know what the curriculum is like at school? My son knew all the letters and letter sounds, but school was encouraging him to guess, memorize, look at pictures for clues, memorize sight words... so when it came to sounding out new words, he didn't have the patience. I went back to basics at home and we worked through "The Reading Lessons (20 Easy Lessons)." This really worked for him! Half way through the book, he can read really well and I stopped the lessons because he is reading. We might finish the last half over the summer, but teacher reports he is now reading at a 1st grade level. When it finally clicked, the reading really took off for him.[/quote]
