—— What is so hard about learning how to read?——

Nothing. Both my daughters learned how to read in a total of ten hours of instruction at age 4.5. (15,minutes a day for a month.). Apparently, they were a bit behind the curve for homeschoolers.

There’s money to be made in dragging out the process. What a friggin’ joke.

phonics is racist.

You can’t buy phonics toys/books/videos if you spend all your spare cash on “wealth signals” like $300 sneakers.

BTW, reading at 4.5 is about right when teaching them phonics.
My 3 yr old knows all the letter sounds, but we’ll probably wait until she’s at least 4 to start teaching phonics & reading.

Did you use a program and if so what was it?
