[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.  Awesome book, easy to do with your kid.  We started the summer before kindergarten and didn't do it every day, so finished around Christmas.  It really did help my son, I don't think he would have been at the same level at the end of the year or going into first grade if we hadn't gone through the book at home.

If she isn't even recognizing all her letters yet, I would definitely do something additional at home; the teacher won't have a lot of time to work with her individually.

Great book. Last September  I started teaching my son when he was 4 1/2. We did a lesson everyday and then repeated the lesson the next dy for review, so it took him 200 days to finish. Now he can read easy chapter books like Frog and Toad. He starts kinder in a few days. I used to teach first grade and wanted to be the one who taught him how to read. I also realized how efficient it is to work one-on-one with a child. I sent him to a completely play-based daycare so he would not be overwhelmed doing 15 minutes of reading. We also have read to  him since birth at least twice a day. [/quote]
