My daughter wasn't reading at all at the end of second grade when she was finally diagnosed with dyslexia. At all as in could not sound out a single word. It should have been caught earlier.

At this point, all three of my kiddos are strong readers, but I do feel most of that progression happened naturally through regular exposure to modeling and plenty of access to interesting books, magazines, etc... <br /><br />http://learnathomejourney.com/jkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888111428733511377noreply@blogger.com
