i think she does a mixture of decoding and remembering, but certainly reading. just not at all fluently!
I think the next step is independent reading – which will be a little while yet here!

She’s definitely decoding, although has to ask for strange words like ‘naughty’, unsurprisingly!

btw Katy, there are *some* MP boys you know! ;-)

I think it is probably when they “read independently” but then that seems to almost belittle the huge efforts at “reading with mummy holding my hand” that comes first. ACtually I suspect that for a lot of our girlies it’s more a case of when they realise they can read and stop asking for help that they probably havent needed for a while (but that’s probably wishful thinking/high hopes!)

Maddy is still “learning2 in that she only reads if i am with her and telling her the new words/cheerleading her on but Fran is independantly reading because she can make sense of a new book without me. But that is just my interpretation of it really! I don’t think there is an internationally decreed law!

Seems to me like SB and T are both almost there! Isn’t it fun?!
