[quote=Anonymous]You can’t really teach her to read until she knows all the letter sounds. Both of my kids started reading at 3, one already knew his letter sounds and the other watched Letter Factory and learned all of them watching that for a week. Start with all the -at family, then -an, -ag, etc. It takes a really long time at 3, but if you do it a few minutes a day, by beginning of Kindergarten she‘ll be reading chapter books. Ignore the alarmists, reading before school is an amazing skill; once your child reads fluently, they can read to learn. And it’s one of those few cognitive skills that is unmatched in its exponential return on investment, the better they can read, the more they want to read, the more vocabulary they acquire, etc. [/quote]
