My HG girl, very verbal, montessori edu until recently...is still not reading. She has been exposed to books all her life, and just is not reading. It is odd.
She is 5.5yo.
We read to her many times per day, and she looks /listens to books on CD by herself all the time. Books are everywhere.
She did have beginning montessori phonics work at school, word blends, etc.
She can do some basic reading and sounding out, but it is slow and not fun for her. She is embarrassed, and does not want to read because she thinks she should be doing better.
It seems odd for a HG kid to not read at this age, I am not sure what is going on. We have not really pushed the issue, but I think it is time to work on it a bit more. We are homeschooling now.
Any suggestions? She is really enjoying the Epgy Math program, and I wondered if there was a similar reading program at that early reading level (epgy reading starts at 2nd grade, she is not there yet)
Any of you with late readers? I read so many posts with super early readers, but not many late/normal readers.
Thx...
