DS is in pre-school just now and is starting to show an interest in reading. He keeps telling me how sad he is that he can't read and gets us to read a story to him so he can then 'read' it back to us 
While I'm not on a mission to teach him to read and will just keep on reading with him, I'm curious about what kind of system they use in schools here. I couldn't find anything useful on the Council's website.
I'm quite happy to teach him some letters if he's really interested but don't want to explain them in a completely different way than they will do when he starts school.
