[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What? Read to your kid every day. That’s it. Read, for a good 30 minutes. It’s part of a bedtime routine. [/quote] This is good to do, but it will not teach reading. We spent 10-15 minutes each day on the Bob Books. We did it every day for months. Do them all and do them in sequence. Gently correct/help DC if they misread something. [/quote] It will not teach decoding, but it will teach comprehension which, in the long term is more important. Your kid will get phonics in school, which will teach them to decode. Supplementing decoding for a child who isn't behind, at the expense of time spent working on comprehension which they can never get enough of is a bad choice. If your kid is behind, or showing signs of dyslexia, this becomes more complicated, but that doesn't seem to be the case for OP. [/quote]
