[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son isn't at the point of sounding out words on a page, but can tell you which word is which in a title or in a page, so he has basic phonics awareness. I would hesitate to say that he isn't "reading" yet, though. He is working on other important reading skills such as predicting, making personal connections, and retelling. It seems that we get so caught up in this idea that a child [/quote] I'm not sure what this means if he isn't sounding out the words - that he knows sight words? [/quote] This means the PP can't bear to admit her kid isn't the most advanced, so rationalizes by says "I would hesitate to say he isn't reading yet". Flat out her kid can't read- it's not the end of the world, he is in kinder, why is it so awful to admit it? Quoting an article from Scholastic might make her feel better but it doesn't make her kid into a reader. [/quote]
