She cannot really sound out words although after having a tutor for a while she did improve. She is off the reading scheme at school and onto library books - she is not confident so is daunted by long pages of text but manages Usborne illustrated books like Puss In Boots very well. She is definitely the 'worst' (horrible word) girl reader in her class which I can live with but not sure whether I should be doing anything more than reading with her every day which I do - school listens to her read every other day or so and has mentioned difficulty in sounding out and tendency to guess but not really suggesting any way of improving...so I guess its down to me...
