Thanks a lot for the answers
The funny thing is that DD knows the name and sound of several of the letters in both Spanish and Dutch. It is getting them within a word that gives her trouble.
(I was very surprised because she speaks three languages and is picking up on English pretty fast (she has now private lessons)).
For example: do you hear the sound 'm' in the word 'potato'? She may actually answer yes!
But if I show her the letter M she can identify it by name and sound without any problem.
If she sees the word she can figure out how to read it (well, very simple words of course), but she has to see the print.
Dutch, Spanish and German are phonetic languages, so in our case it is really useful.
