Hello. I have 6 year old twins who will be starting school in September when they will be almost 7 (we live in Italy). They are both keen to start reading before then (they are at nursery but they don't read there) and I want to teach them - mainly because I want them to get a headstart in learning to read English before learning Italian at school which I think will take precedence. The trouble is I don't know where to start! I have tried Reading Eggs and I read to them every night but they don't seem to be making any headway. My daughter can read random words but she has memorized them - she doesn't know any letter sounds. My elder son (now 11) taught himself so I didn't realise what a rubbish teacher I am! Any help, suggestions for books to read, gratefully received!
