[quote=Anonymous]We do not (as advanced readers) decode every word. We read by sight. The earlier a child can do this the better. Kids can not comprehend well until they are reading by sight. Children (nor adults) do not need to sound out long words. We scan the whole word as well as the words after the word to guess the meaning of that unknown word. We are doing this constantly. Phonics is fine to get a start. Spanish and Latin is great for strengthening reading skills later in middle or high school. [/quote]
