[quote=Anonymous]DC1 started 1st grade at dra4 ( behind) but after doing some phonics practice and read together daily for 30 minutes daily ( step into reading, I can read, DKreaders series etc, both fiction and non fiction, they have pictures and more words than picture books), DC1 reads to me and when she stuck I sound out the word, after like 2 months DC1 no longer need my help and reach dra16 end of 1st grade and in above grade reading level (maxed out in grade 2 Lexile test) since beginning of 2nd grade. A book worm and really enjoy reading. DC2 could read at age 2 and reads whatever (picture books/comic books like dog man /encyclopedias/recipes/the big read book of beginner books series/little critter/little bear/Pete the cat/mercy Watson, who would win, and Boris etc) except real chapter books, and when we tried to move him chapter books at prek he’s not interested but we were able to read magic tree house then he started to read like wimpy kids, I survived series, dragon master, Humphrey etc. I don’t like DC2 read comics all the time but I would ask him to read some chapter books first then he can read comics, and I don’t stop both of them read picture books since I think those are good for brain and imagination. And another thing is that some kids may seem bit behind at first ( like my DC1), but as long as they have no problem with phonics and read more and more, they will be fine.[/quote]
