[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Make sure she really understands that you read words from left to right. [/b]You'd be shocked at how often this simple rule is neglected and the child doesn't totally realize that's how it works. Start with two letter words and two letter nonsense words, like AM and AT but also UT and ET, point out the difference between the words AM and MA, work on those very basics for awhile, then move on to three letter words. Write words on a white board or cards that you use next time as flash cards to go over what you last did. Let her write the words too. Seeing, saying and writing is triple reinforcement.[/quote] Huh thank you! I had taken this for granted bc she knows to write left to right. But best not to assume. [/quote]
