cagirlintexas Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I started the OPGTTR and it went way to fast for my son and required a lot of reading. We are basically stuck on 3 letter words and so far have only done short a words. He can sound out a word like c-a-t but then half the time he doesn't get that the word is cat. Although if I have him spell cat for me he gets it right. Any tips? He is almost 5 so still pretty young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink&bluemommy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I really like 100 EZ lessons. We did it first (started at four and a few months), then went on to OPGTTR (but skipped the first 1/3). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Did he learn the poems? You may need to just sit back and practice the sounds themselves for a little bit. BOB books are good supplements too. The stories are very short, but your ds will feel hugely accomplished when he finishes them. We stumbled for a bit between learning the sounds and then putting them into practice, but now my youngest is reading Little Bear. Taking a moment to reinforce sounds helped a lot.

TheReader Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Slow down and give him more time; he'll get it. Some kids just learn to read later, the same way some learn to walk later or learn to talk later or potty train later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
