Thank you to everyone for the responses!
MegMeg & JonLaw- thanks for the reality check. I rarely (if ever) compare her to her age-mates. I mostly read on here to see what other kids her age are doing. Her Montessori doesn’t even know she’s close to reading. I heard the teacher talking to a mom of a 5 year old about how he did a “word wheel”. Although the teachers have commented on how good she is with “math”/counting, she is what they call an active observer. Meaning she does nothing but stand and watch other kids do works. So basically she doesn’t do anything for the 2 hours she is there. Not sure what to make of that.
Bobbie, Mk13, and Mana - your kiddos are examples of why I am skewed a little with thinking 3yrs 1mo isn’t as young as most kids on here. While DD could read some “words” at 2, she definitely couldn’t read out of new, never-seen, books as she is now
HowlerKarma- Now I’m Reading sounds great! Though I tried to order what I think her level would be (level 1) and it seems like it’s not available… I may try the Library or our local kids bookstore.
CCN- writing the story could be fun! I may even get her to dictate a story to me and we pick together words she has memorize or can decode. She would love something like that.
LaTexican- I’ll try the readingeggs to see if DD is interested, thanks!
Eibbed- We were very recently gifted the “starfall” first reader books and she LOVES them. She thinks they are funny and likes how she can read the whole book without help. I just downloaded the app and DD started using her finger (like I do) and read by herself without me pointing (I have been pointing for her). The only issue was while she was pointing the word she was pointing to kept popping up and reading for her. It drove her a little crazy but I think she will get used to it.
Moonjunio- We have the Piggie books! She used to love them when she was really little… great idea to pull them out now!!
Daytripper75- These look great! There are some that I can print for free on the link you posted… thank you!
