Yea, we see the extra words and making it up. Sometimes he is automatically correcting the grammar. He also reads contractions as full words. And words split at the end of the line throws him for a loop, but he has been getting better at that.
The other thing, is he's been recognizing whole words and reading them since he was like two. Pre-K and most of K that was so far ahead. Now in 1st, with more emphasis on phonetics, he is basically having to completely relearn how he thinks about words. He still guesses at words based on pattern matches rather than sounding out. Like if he encountered "pterodactyl" for the first time, he might guess "predator" rather than like "pe-terd-act-ile" a phonetic orientation might go for. But proper names he'll try to sound it out, as if he realizes he probably hasn't seen it before.
