[quote=Anonymous]This is OP and very much appreciate the thoughtful and detailed replies and the support! She is in preschool (daycare) now and it's mostly play based with a lot of exposure to letters etc but not formal phonics instructions. I would say she picked up all the sounds that the letters make and how to write them at preschool. Will be starting K in the fall.

I'm not concerned she's behind her peers but I guess surprised that we've been trying some of this and it hasn't clicked. And I was naive in thinking that a love of books and a lot of time being read to hasn't translated into reading, but I do understand now that "osmosis" only happens for some kids. I was an early reader (at age 4) and it happened organically so I am also trying to parent my own unique kid and trying to separate my own assumptions from what works for her.

I think her interest (and frustration) is mostly coming from knowing some friends can read and also that she gets these super deep interests (right now it's birds) and wishes I could read to her about them nonstop but I'm juggling younger kid etc and it can't be whenever she wants. She has realized that if she could read, she could be more independent and not wait for me.

I did buy TYCTR100EL and figuring out how to best to start it with DD.[/quote]
