I highly recommend the New Way series out of the UK. You will need to order them online from England from Nelson Publishing. Start with the white and pink series. (Skip the white without words). Have him sound out a page a night (or more if he can) and read the same book with you for a week. Phonics based, and much much funnier and more interesting than the Bob books (we've used both at home). They are not cheap though. We've used them through the yellow level with great success. If you travel for business/pleasure to London, certain bookstores have them two (one on Canary Wharf, I know of). If you think ds needs to practice three letter words in family groups, first, I may have another idea...but more boring, fwiw [ Reply | More

Same here. Letter factory, word factory & storybook factory.

My son was reading words at 3.5 yo, my daughter not so much. I don't think it had anything to do with what we did. I do feel sight word reading is better because now my son spells many words phonetically. [ Reply | More

I won't tell you "shouldn't" do it, but what is the point? Perhaps if dc hasn't learned to read by K you could do this next summer. My dc knew "letters" before K, but in beginning of K couldn't even read c-a-t -- would say "ca-ay-tee" and have no idea what word was. K teacher said "don't worry" and suddenly before end of K it "clicked" and dc became best reader in class in first grade. Just got 3rd grade ELA results and dc got perfect score. Late reading doesn't mean you will not be a good reader and why make dc hate it? Just keep reading books to your dc and it will be much better for dc. [ Reply | More

You asked for advice and I will give it you, don;t do it. It often backfires. Reading at this age has nothing to do with intelligence and forcing it can just cause a kid to hate it. Read to dc, if he/she is interested in phonics play some games, if not don't. If dc is developmentally ready dc will pick it up. [ Reply | More

In Japan it is typical for kids to learn to read at home, just as naturally as it is here to learn potty training at home, are their kids all messed up? Globally, it isn't that weird. Also, someone said awhile back to put the captions on your TV so it is always there when dc sees it. There are also cookie cutters shaped like letters you can use to make it fun. Decorate the cookies like things that start with that letter (put apple pictures on the A, make the Y yellow, whatever). String the cookies together and ask what it says. [ Reply | More
