[quote=Anonymous] Your main tool is PATIENCE. My children frustrated me to no end at around that age, when I felt they were just at the cusp of reading but didn't quite memorize and decipher sight words and other words. And guess what? Nothing I did helped in any visible or measurable way! I read to them as usual, asked they decipher a little bit themselves... but it's only when their brain was ready that something CLICKED, and they were off. For example my daughter read the first Harry Potter at the end of K and The Hobbit in first grade, among other things. A couple of months before reading these hefty things, she was painstakingly going through one liners! My son took a few extra months, but his trajectory had the same kind of bump. Brain development is crazy at that time. So, yes, patience. [/quote]
