[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 554690, member: 7664"] Malika! First MEMORIZING sentences, phrases and pages from children's books **** IS *** part of the [SIZE=4]normal[/SIZE] process of learning to read!! It really is!! Even if J were not being taught one method or the other- the natural, typical, normal way is to memorize parts or whole stories that have been repetitively read. I have a daughter who read early and will study words and language going as a career aspiration in the near future, she memorized first, she taught herself to read; I have a son on the autism spectrum, he memorized first, who was taught in therapy to recognize the shape of words and memorize them; I have a son with dyslexia, he memorized first, he was taught phonics; I have a son without learning delays, he memorized first, he was taught phonics. Also, despite disability and desire, each of my children began reading (not just memorizing) at different ages and more prodding, etc did not serve to help the process along more quickly, but only frustrate. I urge you to learn about the sequence of acquisition of skills for reading and assess for yourself whether J is indeed on track. Otherwise I think a natural progression could become strained and unpleasant if expectations are off. [/QUOTE]
