[quote=Anonymous]The idea that reading to your child will make your child a better reader is a myth. The only thing that will make your child a better reader is reading (and writing!) It does not sound as though your child is reading books that are decodable. Did you start with decodable books? Decodable books are based in phonics and if you skip over the phonics, it will be much harder for your child to read fluently in the long term. You can memorize CAT but when you start to read words like Orinthologist, you need to have a good basis in phonics to sound it out. [/quote]
