[quote=Anonymous] My son knows some words by sight and is able to sound out others, in both English and Spanish. In this way, I guess he is reading. He definitely built these skills over the last year of kindergarten. Prior to this, he had a few sight words and strong phonetic base, but I would not consider that to be reading at all. They grow so much over the kindergarten year, I wouldn't worry. It took months for efforts to come to fruition. It's ongoing. I would recommend Teach Your Child To Read In 100 Days for a good short-cut approach once your child has a firm grasp on letter recognition and sounds. The app, Endless Alphabet, is very helpful in that regard. I just make sure my children place the letters in the order they appear in each word, in order to approximate spelling. That way, they learn the "sound it out" technique with ease.[/quote]
