Learning to read

[Trillian]

I highly recommend the Mem Fox 'Reading Magic' book too - a great guideline for encouraging our kids to love reading.

Alot of schools are moving away from phonics and are heading towards THRASS.

if you would like to start with the phonics though, try to hunt down the Ladybird Sounds and Pictures pre-readers. They are just perfect for the age group you are looking at. The ladybird sets are also graduated so that they can continue with them as they get more advanced. If you can't find them in a book store, let me know and I will tell you where I can get them from.
