[quote=Anonymous]^^OP, my 5yo DD did that too before things finally clicked for her. She didn't even want to try to sound out words she didn't know and would guess a random would that wouldn't necessarily even start with the same letter. Once it started to become a bit easier for her, her confidence soared and her ability to work though words she doesn't know increased as well. It can't hurt to focus on phonics a bit more as PPs have suggested, but part of it is just continuing to work on it. With both of my kids, I put a lot of emphasis on phonics to start and then starting mixing in sight words. We do about 20 minutes of reading each night before bed. The first 10 min, DD reads a book to me (a book I pick out for her) and the last 10 minutes, I read aloud to her (she gets to pick the book I read). That way we do reading practice AND my DD gets her normal bedtime story. [/quote]
