DD is 5 and in reception and I thought she was doing really well on the Biff and Kipper books, ie, she brings one home, I read it with her a couple of nights and then she comes home with a new one.
However I now think she is completely memorising it (using the pictures) rather than reading the words. We borrowed some books from the Library and she didn't seem to be able to read even the simple word's, like It and In. Words she "learnt" many books ago.
Is this how these books are meant to teach them, or should I be worried she is not taking it in. I wrote out many of her key words on paper, but she wasn't interested in looking at them.
Anyone know anymore about how children of this age learn to read?
