Tabrett Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 My dd, who turned 5 a little over 3 months ago, is doing PP's. She is in the silent e section of the book. (for those of you who don't do PP's, she has learned cvc, cvcc, cvccy, ing, ong, ang, ong, ink, ank, onk, unk, ck, ch, sh, and silent e) She is doing well, the comprehension is there, but she lacks the maturity needed to focus on the harder phonics lessons. It's starting to get very frustrating. I plan on doing MFW 1 with her next school year. She can already fluently read at the level necessary to start MFW 1 (cvc words). Here is my question- Should I just start reviewing what we have learned this year in reading and go no farther or keep going and not worry about whether she understand it all because either way it will be taught to her again in MFW 1. Would it be better to keep plugging along so she has a base knowledge of next years phonics or try to really concrete what she has learned so far? I know she is very young, that is why I'm think on just reviewing for a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) I think you accidentally posted on the wrong board ;). But my two cents is to keep going at her pace (ETA!!!). You could get some easy readers like Bob books or something from the library. Edited February 3, 2009 by Karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumping In Puddles Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I would definitely stop - there is no need to frustrate your 5 year old! I had a very similar situation with my son (will be 6 in March) and the break did wonders for him. He was frustrated, I was frustrated and there was tears so I just put it away for a little while. What might help is to find books that she can already read and have her keep reading them to you. So you are not really just doing a review (like "u-n-k says unk") formally but she is naturally reviewing with the books that have sentences like "Then the puppy slept in a bed" or whatever. You could even make your own little books which is what I did and my son really gets a kick out of that. Especially if I put something funny in the sentences.

I'm going to repost on the correct board.:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
