[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With a sample in the thousands, albeit with very few kids worried about getting their next meal, most students (90+ %) were able to read basic Bob book level by end of their 3year old year if they started recognizing their letters, by using a Phonics-centered literacy approach to teaching. By end of 4 year old year, a similar percentage were reading a 2nd grade reading book comfortably.  By end of K, there was wider variation with the top students reading at 5th grade level and lower students at 3rd-4th grade level.

Despite the naysayers, there is no reason for OP not to be teaching DC to read and every reason for DC to ask for suggestions on how to help DC over the blending hump.  [/quote]

Not all kids can do phonics based.  Mine didn't, and were sight readers.  Much to my surprise mine just stared reading one day at age three.  We pointed to words when we read, did apps, and other reading games with no expectation for them to learn it.  Some kids pick it up more easily than others but starting young is good as then you can catch and help more if there are learning disabilities.  Most kids are interested but parents and preschools are not teaching it.l[/quote]
