[quote=Anonymous]The children of everyone I know learned to read in PK pretty much on their own from being read to all the time. We never did any direct instruction of any sort, just lots of reading with our fingers moving under each word. DC memorized the ABC song at 3 and would sing while pointing at the letters on her alphabet placemat at every meal. At 3 1/2, my DC just memorized all her books and pretended to read by moving her finger across the page. But every time she did it, she was connecting the spoken words to the written page. In a few months, she started sight reading whole words everywhere she went and asking about words she didn't recognize. And then she started writing captions on her drawings and doodles. When we noticed her looking up her books for how to spell words, we decided it was time to get her a kiddie dictionary. By 4 our bedtime routine was her reading to us before we read to her. [/quote]
