[quote=Anonymous]'sounding out' words is definitely in vogue - combined with the 'sight words' you can't sound out. There's been shifts over the years between what you're talking about which is often been called "whole word" compared to phonics. Anyway, my mom who was a teacher in the 70s mentioned the labeling things around the house & we did it as a game - where they kids thought is was a super fun game -- they picked objects -- I spelled out the words and my kids wrote them down & they taped them on. We've done a few times over the past few months. Any word reinforcement helps I think as kids are learning to read- and a combo of strategies doesn't hurt. [/quote]
