who has just started Yr 2, can read words like 'explain', 'idea', 'magical', and yet stumbles over the 'simple stuff' like says 'I' when the word is 'and' or 'seven' when the word is 'even', or runs the last letter of the previous word into the next word, so 'likes to party' becomes 'likes stop party?
It is very strange, and makes her reading become quite incomprehensible, and confuses her, which puts her off. I think she reads for meaning, but is too quick, and just focuses on one letter and makes the rest up! What do you think? She is doing ok with reading - Stage 9 ORT at the end of last term, but I think her reading is quite weak compared with other areas.
Has anyone else's child done this? What helped? Any words of advice?
