[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh you guys are really stuck on the 3 year old thing.  She'll be 4 in a couple weeks, and her verbal/language/comprehension is very advanced compared to her peers.[/quote]

OP, you can find 5-15 minutes while baby is napping to go over letter sounds, or, if she's 100% solid on all the letter sounds, then start on early phonics:  C + A + T, etc.  There are early reading books that she can start out on, and if she's ready, the she's ready.  If she's not, then wait a few months and try again later.  [/quote]

Thanks.  She learned all the letter sounds a long time ago, from leapfrog videos which she was obsessed with for a while.

So I looked into Kumon and that doesn't seem like a good fit for her, and[b] I also looked into the Teach your child to read book, but I think that's a bit too complicated for us[/b].  I decided to just get a couple BOB books and a set of sight word flash cards see how she does with those.

And to the other poster - my daughter has been telling me for months she wants to learn to read.  I am not pushing her.  In fact I've been dragging my feet on it.[/quote]

I agree - we actually ordered it and were disappointed.  I think your approach sounds good.[/quote]
