I will start off by saying I am NOT a pushy parent! DS is 2.7 and has cerebral palsy. He struggles a lot physically but his intelligence isn't affected and he is really really keen to learn how to read. We can't go past a road sign or shop sign or advert without him asking me what each letter is and him trying to read it.
He can recognise all the letters and numbers 1-10 (I didn't teach him, he learnt it from CBeebies!!) And has an amazing memory - he pretends to read favourite books back to me as he can remember phrases from each page in the books that we read.
I know that phonics is a big thing in schools now so I would like to know how I should go about teaching him. Is there a book or website that explains what to do? I don't want to just muddle along in my own way and then he gets confused when it comes to preschool/school etc.
I will say again I am not being pushy but I think that as he is so keen to learn to read I should be supporting him in that shouldn't I?
