[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is true that some kids need extra help with phonics, and some kids need even more. I have friends whose kids were diagnosed with dyslexia and that was really hard. However, I always thought that teaching the nuts and bolts was the job of the teacher and my job as a parent was to give them warm snuggly associations with reading. I wouldn’t worry too much about things midway through kindergarten, OP. Just read to them- and even more than 30 minutes a day, if you can. Good luck. [/quote] Except schools don't teach reading! I'm surprised he's even being sent home phonics worksheets. We're not in MCPS, though. I would bet a whole lot that a child acting like OP's child will both need extra help (explicit structured phonics) AND that the school won't notice. Worse, they'll likely tell her everything is fine. It won't hurt him to learn it if he doesn't need it, but the opposite is not true. See the reading latter: https://www.nancyyoung.ca/[/quote]
