DD does pretty well phonically sounding out - at at present is learning sounds like ea, ee, ou etc. So we teach her these things as do the school and then she gets totally stumped with her daft ORT reading book which completely goes against what i've just taught her - "Measurement" which she of course starts off mee - then sure is another tricky part to teach. Another word in the same book - journey, another contradiction to the sound of ou that she's just been taught!
Then up crops Know
How do you go about teaching these contradictions in the english language??
Poor girl - this teaching reading malarky is very tricky!She should have had a photographic memory!
