[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 521484, member: 11847"] Insane, the reading method you describe is called "whole language" reading method. You don't use the alphabet code, it's like sight words to the fullest extend possible: every word is a sight word. Most of the time kids learn through a mix method of whole language and phonics. I have used the sight word method with V and funny thing: he only remembers words that he can relate to (names of family members, cow, chicken, cat, etc...). Any verbs, pronouns, etc he CANNOT remember despite his best effort. The reason I want to protect him: when he "can't hear" he appears unfocused and if pushed becomes kinda rude. It's just that he is pushed to his limits. I don't want people to draw the wrong conclusion. But true: we need a plan, not protection. As far as his writing: I am not labeling him yet. He IS too young for that, I get it. But I do see it as a HUGE red flag. Even his drawing is not age appropriate. Without my help (directing him, reassuring that he CAN) he would only scribble. And he draws in every direction as well (upside down houses, or flowers, whatever we work on that day). His birthday is coming soon as well: he is almost 5. What makes me also think that there is an issue: he wants to learn. He really tries and he SO proud when I help him succeed. But if I'm not right there, helping him in every little step, then he really cannot do it... If it wasn't for the spatial issues, his letters are actually good enough for his age. Buddy, I will check the isense and ask if it would be recommended. I'm thinking when we go to noisy places (restaurants, stores, school events) it might help V understand what is going on. [/QUOTE]
