[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow so many early readers! Now I feel like I’m doing something wrong. DD turned 5 two weeks ago and she definitely cannot read. We read to her since she was 6 months old. She has shown a lot of interests in books and she loves being read to. She can’t read though![/quote]

Don’t worry.  It clicks for different kids at different times.  Last year, our DS just turned 5 after starting K and could not read.  He knew all the alphabet, sounds, etc....

By spring of K he started reading CVC words.  We worked on phonics with him and had him read 1-2 easy books a day to us.  It clicked for him and his reading just took off.  By the time he started 1st grade this year, he was reading at a level of the end of 1st grade.  By the time he was tested in Nov, he was reading at a 2nd grade level.

What we found really helpful was working on phonics and having him read a book to us everyday, even over the summer. As his reading got better, we up the level and difficulty of the books he read. [/quote]
