Hi all,
So my eldest is starting school soon and keeps expressing a desire to be able to read, I've been trying to do some reading with her, encouraging her to read the word, but I'm struggling because she's giving up straight away, saying she can't do it.
I've been reassuring her that she doesn't need to be able to read, I just want her to try, and when she gets stressed I stop immediately. She is quite a perfectionist and can put herself under a lot of pressure not to fail.
I'm not worried about her reading so much, she'll do that in her own time, but am a bit concerned about her giving up out of fear of getting it wrong. Anything I can do that might help before she starts school?
