I was wondering how those of you whose children have learned to read at home went about teaching them/helping them and how their reading developed.
My ds1 (4) is showing lots of interest in what things say, knows letter names, letter sounds and a few words, learned through conversation and him asking.
I know the current 'school' approach is teaching phonics / synthetic phonics, but wondered if anyone had success stories about other methods of learning to read.
My ds seems to have a very good visual memory - I don't know if that means he will suit any approach in particular.
