Hi,
Can anyone give me any further tips in helping my son to read? He is going into year 3 and still at the begining of level 2! Even level one oxford reading tree is difficult for him. He made very little progress last year at school.
We have been working hard over the summer holidays, however one day he will know the word and stare blankly at it the next. Doesnt seem to matter what time is put into it, we still have so little sucess. He mixes letters round alot too. (on/no, was/saw) reversals with writing too. He misreads letters even tho he knows his letters well.
We have worked hard on phonics and he knows all the sounds. We also read every day (I read one and then he would read one) Blending seems to be the biggest problem. We read signs when out and about, play sound games, etc
We are going to see a b optrometrist, to rule out vision problems.
I have tried google, but there is so much different advice out there its hard to know wheres best to start. I have subscribed with reading eggs and education city and we work through jolly phonics worksheets/cd rom.
Memory in general isnt bad, he remembers what he reads, its just so hard for him to read the words. I do have concerns for dyslexia but i know its too soon. I just want to help him read but no matter what I do, doesnt seem to help :(
Any advice or personal experiences would be great.
