[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My K son is not reading "well" but I'm not too worried. He's a little behind on recognizing sight words according to the benchmark his teacher (or FCPS?) sets but he is good at decoding short words, understands beginning vs. end sounds, and is great at rhyming. He is on the younger side (late May bday) so I think he just needs a little more time for things to click. I purposely sent him to a preschool that was not overly academic because he has years to do worksheets and I didn't want to kill a love of learning. I would be concerned if he wasn't connecting the letters to the sounds they make. For now I'm just trying to do a combo of him reading BOB books and me reading him longer books during our nightly routine. I'm trying not to transfer any stress or pressure I might feel (which I wouldn't feel if it weren't for the expectations the school seems to have) onto him. [/quote]

I have a July girl and we're in a similar place.  She has all the building blocks down, so I am not worried about it all eventually clicking.  I know it will.  I DO know that if I start to put pressure on her to do this faster, it will back fire.  So we read a lot together, some with her reading to me, some with me reading to her.  I feel completely confidant she'll get there.[/quote]
