[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is also in first grade and is really just starting to read easy books. He actually cried because he said he wasn’t learning in school. That was in November.  I got Hooked on Phonics and am teaching him myself. Over the last few months, I’ve mentioned this to several friends, whose kids are all older.  I’ve been really amazed to find out how many of them say they taught their own child to read.  School was a supplement to what they did — not the other way around.  They are not all FCPS families and their kids were in K and 1 well before COVID.  Not saying that I think this is a good or bad thing—just sharing.[/quote]

Same thing here, but we realized and started earlier in the year and he's flourished with us.  It just took a LOT of effort earlier.  Teaching reading/writing is something that is easier done 1 on 1 or in smaller groups.  His class has 28 students, so only the ones who are still learning letters are getting more than a 15 min reading session each week.  According to my unreliable 6 year old, he mainly gets to do imagine learning - Excited to be level 118 now.  Not sure how I feel about so much computer learning...[/quote]
