We live abroad and DD1 goes to a local school, so I am having to sort out teaching her to read in English sort of by myself.
We have "done" Letterland and now DD knows her letters really wsell, we still read the books as she enjoys them.
We also have the ORT "Read at Home" box set.
Wondering if we should go for ORT / Jolly phonics / another scheme completely as well / instead of?
Also, in the ORT parents' notes, it says "please do not hide the pictures" and yet on MN I have seen that "proper" phonics teaching means that the pictures are not useful as guess aids. I think it was a poster called mrs something, sorry not to be more specific :)
Any views opn pictures / no pictures / covering the pictures etc?
