These are called rebus books... I knew it would finally come to me.
ITA with Kriston. We didn't waste time on phonics. Both kids read one day when they were around 4 yrs of age and quickly progressed to reading chapter books, etc. I am still amazed at whatever decoding process "clicked" in their brains and enabled them to read. I know 4 yo is "late" for this board but the point is that they were fluent, confident readers without any guidance or coaching on my part. That said, your child is doing great and it is terrific that you are seeking ways to enhance her skill base. I also love the make your book idea and wish I'd thought of it when they were younger. Happy Holidays!
