[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your child know letter sounds? Can he rhyme? Does he know any sight words?[/quote] Yes, he knows letter sounds. Yes, he knows about 20 sight words. I don't think he can rhyme. He knows the word cat but doesn't yet get hat if I switch the c to an h. DH and I don't pressure him. He gets frustrated that he doesn't get it.[/quote] I agree with others -- the problem isn't his reading level, the problem is his frustration. I know it seems like the supportive thing is to help him with reading, but I think that's actually counterproductive and reinforces his anxiety about it. Instead, reassure him that different kids learn to read at different ages and he's way too young to worry about it. Also, remind him that different people have different strengths, and talk about areas where he excels and areas where his friends excel.[/quote]
