I'm just suddenly feeling a bit ignorant about how children learn to read. My dd1 is in reception and very keen to read. She reads every day to me at bedime and is on ORT level 3 which she is finding fairly easy. But she doesn't scan ahead yet, so is not all that fluent.
How does the next stage happen? Is it just to do with practice? Is it connected with learning the spellings of words as well? I just wonder because she isn't getting any spellings home from school to learn and I wondered if it would help her reading. Or maybe it doesn't work like that.
Does anybody know more about the theory of this? Or where I can find more information? I'm partly interested in how I can help her, and partly just interested in an abstract way.
