[quote=Anonymous]My daughter starts 1st in the fall. Going into K she could read sight words but not a 6 word sentence. She could probably read a short sentence though like Go dog go. At the end of K she could read longer sentences but not easily. Reading was still very difficult. Our summer homework was 10 min of reading a night. In June it was painful. Now it's pretty cool. She picked an Ivy and Bean book to read and she's doing most of it with me assisting on the bigger words. She has finally started to get that the words tell a story and that they are just not individual words. So what I would tell you is don't worry too much about what your child can and cannot do today. Let the teachers work with your child. But you read and practice with her too. Every night for just a few minutes. The leaps and bounds my child made this summer was surprising to me. I was lax in K and did not practice with her. Now I know I should have.[/quote]
