DD is 6 (YR1)and I hesitate to say a good reader for her age. The issue for me, is that words are missed completely and others are sometimes substituted. The words she misses or get muddled are simple ones such as 'and' 'the' 'it' 'is' etc. It almost feels like she doesn't think they are worth her time but the harder words are.
Whenever she does it, if she doesn't self-correct I ask her to reread the sentence. She will then go back, read slower and get it right. I have asked dd what happens at school when she does this but in her words "They let me get away with it!" . I have noted in her reading records several times about the inaccuracies but had no response.
I know I'm probably worrying about nothing but I feel strongly that she needs to learn to read accurately, mainly because I'm dyslexic and I am aware that my own reading can be quite inaccurate. I'm worried that whatever she is doing is becoming a habit as asking her to reread the sentence, isn't resolving the issue.
She wears glasses for a mildly lazy eye and is getting an eye patch in the couple of weeks.
Could the inaccuracies be down to her eyes, lazy reading or normal reading development?
