[quote=Anonymous][quote]So I've got an average kid (not gifted, no special needs). He also does some guessing of words from context and pictures, but the teacher tells me they are taught these methods, in addition to decoding. In fact, she says parents do a disservice by always telling the kids to sound it out, as there are more strategies than that one. I thought that was interesting[/quote] Yes, my son's teacher said that using those strategies (guessing from context and pictures) is fine at his level (K). It may be more of an issue later on. I do notice that when my son tries to sound out words, he will correctly make the sound of ever letter, but then have trouble blending it into the word. Either the long/short vowels are wrong, or he just can't extrapolate because the letter sounds are not exactly identical to the pronunciation of the word. [/quote]
