[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thing to remember, lots of great advice here already, is let the kiddo/ child pick the book.  A kindergarten teacher told me that picture books help them anticipate what the words will be, and finally tell them they are fine. They will learn to read when they learn.  Don’t bother telling them this, but remember some kids brains are ready earlier and some are later and they will get there when their brain has developed to learn. They will be fine. My kids were very later learners and now are voracious readers. They THINK they learned to read early. But they didn’t. [/quote]
Looking at the pictures is Lucy Caulkins nonsense that has been proven to be harmful to children.  Please stop repeating it.

I used How to Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons with both my kids starting in the spring before kindergarten.  We supplemented with Bob books and Dear Dragon books. They both started K already reading and had a strong phonics foundation for further growth.  I'm really happy with that approach, as it set them up for success and confidence.[/quote]
