Loading ...You gave me a good idea when you mentioned ” See spot run.” ” Jump”.
Remember the Dick and Jane books from first grade on like Spot.
Was testing a six yr old grandson to see if he’s hyper or just getting anxiety from Phonics reading at school. Good in math can add double digits in his head but didn’t care about reading although he could.
I bought him Dick and Jane books on Amazon. Got the first one plus a cat book that came with it , reads the same and uses phonics, cat hat mat. See cat run.
Boy what a difference. You could see him light up and gain confidence, he read two 32 page books in a row and wanted to read them again.
Then again to see how fast he could finish the book. Then wanted to read more books. In a few minutes in one day from not wanting to read to wanting to read more books.
He could use phonics for words he didn’t know but most of the words repeat so he could easily add them to the repeated words. Just phonics is interfering with their comprehension and not remembering what they read or the words themselves. Takes them longer. These books they can remember and talked about them.
They can use phonics for learning sounds and how to sound them out and use these books that are repetitive and add new words gradually building their vocabulary so they don’t have to sound out every word they read giving them a headache and eye strain. They argue they are memorizing the words but eventually that’s what they’re doing anyways. That’s normal site not dyslexia but helps them too.
Or they start acting up call it hyper and give them drugs.
Schools failing them take control, it worked.
