[quote=Anonymous]I think your child is fine, OP. I may be biased though... My son is 4.5 and doesn't know any sight words. He will ask me what things say and pretends to read and spell. He can't even spell his own name and isn't terribly interested in learning how, but he can pick it out of a bunch of words; that's fine by me. He'll learn when he's ready and I refuse to push him. I am exhausted by all the bragging about how young kids can read! Truly, it is beyond exhausting. Even my faux hippie, "it's all good, man" neighbors brag about their 3 year old "reading". The vast majority will learn when they are developmentally ready; the others may require special assistance -- and that's fine, too. Support your child where she is and all will be just fine.[/quote]
