[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a worthless skill! Anyway, there are many ways that early readers make sense of text, and whole-word reading is one of them. Most children need the support of phonics-based instruction to achieve proficiency, but not all of them, and your daughter is fortunate to a good memory for words.[/quote] It might also be worth exploring her memory in other ways. My kid at 4 knew how long it took each planet to orbit the sun and similar facts. So you could use this to teach her about other things. My kid is finishing up first grade and doing very well but nothing crazy.[/quote]
