I have concerns about dd's reading and need some reassurance. Dd hates reading out loud. It has always been a struggle. She's currently in year 3 and on lime level but is about ready to move up another level. I'm quite happy about this - she's not top of the class but not bottom of the class either.
My concern is that when she reads to me, she often reads the correct words but puts them in the wrong order or adds different words e.g. She will read 'is it going to rain today said mr Smith' as 'it's raining today mr Smith said'.
Do you think this is just her being careless or could it be indicative of a problem such as dyslexia (my mother and several oh her relatives have dyslexia).
The other thing is that I'm not sure how much I should correct her when she's reading. She's a reluctant reader and if I ask her to slow down and read more carefully she tends to want to stop reading. Are there any strategies I could use that won't destroy her confidence?
