[quote=Anonymous]Most kids once the learn the letter sounds can decode and blend by the end of kindergarten and certainly by the end of first grade. Studies do indicate that kids who don't learn after first grade may be facing learning issues that will affect their long term learning. However, I think the larger issue is understanding that reading is not just decoding it requires understanding concepts that are implied in language. This is why the language gap is critical. Yes get your kids bob books but the issue is more often are you reading with your kids, building rich experiences. [/quote]
