Hugs Isa - Sweetie!

It is just not true - particularly if the child has vision difficuties - and a multilingual backround. She will be stronger in the end for it - this isn't a race!

Since you can't exactly say to the teacher: Your method of teaching reading stinks! you might try to ask for a different method based on your daughter's documented vision difficulties.

What happens verbally when you spell words out to her? Can she put them together?
Is the tutor still coming?

Keep looking for the Audio + Text books, I know that they exist!

Look at the Leapfrog system and see if any of their toys might help.

My favorite reading trick is for you and her to make books together using short words she knows. She might even be willing to write down for you all the words that she does know how to read so that you can make them into a story, or she may want to write the story herself and you type it into the computer.

You are NOT alone!
