[quote=Anonymous]I took a small wait and see approach.  I'm lucky in that DD's Kindergarten teacher sends updates everyday on the types books they read and also somewhat weekly what types of words (very phonics-based) they're working on.  It gave me a good way to know where to start reinforcing.  
Honestly, the Hooked on Phonics learning to read program has been pretty awesome.  I get a set of workbooks and little books every month.   The has little books are like Bob books but kind of nicer drawings (lol) and it really builds their confidence reading.  We do exercises and read the little booklets at least 10 minutes a day.  I also send worksheets with her to work on at SACC (they don't have homework in kindergarten, but I have her practice hand writing using the most common sight words).  It's not the only way to get at it but so far this is working.  
So to answer your question, yes, you have to teach or at the VERY least reinforce what your child is learning which requires a lot of hands on-ness beyond reading a few books a night.  [/quote]
