[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 554876, member: 1550"] Through the years the schools have experimented with various "pop" reading methods. My sister was taught to read completely by sounds (for example in her books phone would look like fone). It is not a good thing for your spelling or reading skills in English (which has so many exceptions). My mother was really upset with that method and made the school put her into the one classroom that taught phonics. I don't know why they keep experimenting with new ways to teach reading when phonics works just fine. I feel your frustration. However, if J. were in the US, children are not expected to read at five nor do math sums. He would be considered doing quite well if he could do both. If J. has trouble remembering colors, have you thought of testing him for color blindness? [/QUOTE]
