It's so interesting how each early reader is different from one another. DD needs to understand what she is reading. She can attack words and decode in isolation but she will not sit and read passages she doesn't understand. :nodding:
-- and laughing more than a little at the compliance issues outlined. My DD, to a tee.
She actually had some trouble being
taught that last little missing bit of "full decoding" because, well, Bob books were so... er...
stupidly insipid. I believe that may be an exact quote on the subject from when she was about 6 and reminiscing about the process. If only there were phonetically controlled readers in a Monty Python or Far Side boxed set for kids like her.
