[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a very different skill set between the memorization and the decoding.  Just because she does one doesn't mean she is ready for the other.  And that's okay.[/quote]

OP here. This is such a great point. I have tutored older kids in reading so when my daughter started getting frustrated that she couldn't read her books, I thought of the kids I've tutored and how we used games and skill building to help them develop their reading skills and push past frustration. But those were all kids who already understood the concept of decoding and had some reading skills, but struggled with vocabulary or in some cases had special needs that needed to be addressed. I've never worked at the ECE level and hadn't really thought about how very young kids start to acquire literacy skills before my daughter. Reading up on it the last couple weeks has been very eye opening.

I definitely don't want to kill off my daughter's love of books or make reading a chore or something she has to do. Just looking for ways to support her. If she learns to read early, great, but if she doesn't I don't care, as long as she isn't getting frustrated or losing interest in books because of it.[/quote]
