[quote=Anonymous]How about trying Letter Factory and/or Word World? I think that if you force it before she is willing and ready, you might get a better reader but one who hates to read. I'd back off a little bit and then after letting her see Word World and Letter Factory many times and doing daily reading with her where you're the only reader, I'd start reading and get to a really easy word, point to it, and say, "wait a second...um... what's that word? That's odd...I can't figure it out." See if she can then help you. If she doesn't, I would purposely say the word wrong. So if it was "a," I might say, "no." If you do that once a night to her, then I'd get to easy words and start pointing to them and kind of nudge her to let her know she should say it. Increase REALLY slowly so that in many, many weeks, you are agreeing to read to her nightly after she reads to you OR that she reads a page and you read a page.[/quote]
