[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PPs about the lack of progress over time being the concern. For perspective, I have a 5 year old who only recently started sounding out words. At 3 and 4 he knew letters and some sounds, but never really tried to go beyond that. At 5, he was suddenly interested in trying to sound out words and he can now sound out the very simplest words (i.e. bat, cat, etc.) and does know some sight words. I don't think it's unusual at all for a 6 year old to struggle with reading, but I would expect a kid who was trying to sound out words at 3 to have moved past that stage. If your kid is working on reading either at home or school, and they know the letters and sounds, at some point it will usually start to click. Hopefully it's nothing major, but an evaluation can't hurt.[/quote]
