DS has just started in Year 2 and he is not getting the Ginn reading books that he had in Reception and Year 1 anymore. He can choose a home reader to bring home to read to us. He brought a book home tonight which was quite difficult which he read well but as he was going through the book there were obviously some words that he can't read yet and they are not words that he can sound out (one example is the word "neighbours"). Do I say the word for him as he gets to that word in the book or try and get him to figure it out on his own? Is it a case of if I say it for him he will remember that word for next time he sees it?
I'd say he is on the verge of becoming a free reader so any other reading tips to just help him along would be great.
