Apologies for posting here but thought you guys might be able to help more than anyone else!
Ive got a little boy who is nearly 4 (end of feb) who is desperate to read. He spends literally all day asking me "what does that say mummy?" and Id really like to harness his enthusiam while he is so eager to learn.
He knows all his letters phonetically and can sound words out ie C A T phonetically but can't then hear that it says Cat if you get what I mean? Its really frustrating for both of us because I know he can do it and it just seems like we are one tiny step away but I can't think how else to do it.
He's quite a bright little boy (if I do say so myself!) and is so desperate to be able to do this that I just feel I want to help him. He goes to a private nursery for his govt funded sessions and while they are great with him they are about as much help as a chocolate teapot reagrding this. All I get is well he doesn't need to learn to read yet and he is too young.
Sorry fro the long ramble...just thought if anyone knew how to do this it would be on here!
We're just doing a trial with Education City at the moment and he loves it so think we'll carry on with that but just wondered if anyone had any bright ideas? Shall I just carry on as we are and then hopefully it'll just click?
