Okay, so DD 2.5 has been asking to learn to read. She quickly learned all the sounds the letters make in a week. She already has been recognizing Capital and Lowercase letters.
So I was going to start teacing phonics since she desperatly wants to know what everything says and read books herself......however
I just got Dr. Ruf's book yesterday and read halfway through it. She says that phonics instruction can actually interfer with a gifted child learning to read.....so what should I do. Should I not and just see if in a year or two she picks it up on her own?
------- As far as I can tell after reading through the level of giftedness and the stories of the individual children, DD is no lower then a level 3....and she also fits fairly well in a level 4. ------
So aany advice would be helpful!
