[quote=Anonymous]I think some kids figure it out based on having been read to a lot. I did - My first book was Hop on Pop - and I figured it out from there. Since becoming a teacher, though I have realized that a lot of kids need to be taught much more explicitly. But at three years old - I definitely don't think you need to teach to read. With my 4.5 year old - he is learning letters and sounds and I have bought easy readers. He is learning in English and Spanish and asked to read some Level A books I had up for school and read them great and wanted to! I have tried a bit with some easy Spanish readers (more phonetics based is required) and he tells me to read it to him. So anyway I am kind of letting him lead the way. He will be a young kindergartener, but I have already seen so much growth and interest since PreK 3, I dont want to force anything till he is ready.[/quote]
