My five-year-old is just not getting blending sounds into words. She knows all the letter sounds, and can read them accurately in a word, but once she finishes the sounds, she totally guesses what the word is. For example, yesterday the word sat was read as both at and snake, even after she has made the sss-aaa-t sounds. Tell me that if I just lay off for a few months it will be ok, tell me that I don't need to send her to public school where she would definitely be reading CVC words by this point in the year, tell me your kid couldn't blend words at age five but by six or seven he learned to love reading. You could also give me your tips and tricks for getting blending to be more understandable.
