[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t stop and ignore the posters who are too lazy to work with their kids.  Lots of kids read by age 4. [/quote]

But other ones don't.

Look, I've worked with a four year old on 100EL and it didn't take. But it worked awesome with the same child at five. She just wasn't ready back then. Please note that this particular child was the fourth child I've taught to read, and the third by 100EL.

You can maybe plough through it. But time is a limited resource, and if it is a serious struggle, at that age, I think that time it is better spent on other things.[/quote]

That may not be the best for that child.  You have four kids so no you aren’t devoting the time I did.  That’s why I had. Less kids. [/quote]

There is some truth to this, but a large brood is a wealth flex. [/quote]

As PP, I would class it as a large brood is a "thinks teaching kids is a fun" flex. We did a lot of oral vocabulary and memorizing poetry that year, which she was entirely ready for. And some numeracy which ... well maybe,  but she enjoyed it more than reading, at that age. I am pretty sure I could have made reading happen, but there were many other things where I feel her time was better spent at age four.

Perhaps if there was a hx dyslexia to worry about, but in OP's case, a four year old who didn't get stuck until blends doesn't intuitively seem like a child at risk.
