I have noticed that Molly’s decoding skills are really improving. Also she is now starting to read things out, so for example if we are out she will read what is said on signs, cereal packets and on the television. She actually picked up a book at home the other day and started to read it for pleasure which for her is amazing. Her school are trying her on simple paperback chapter books, she is really pleased about this and it has helped with her confidence. On a positive note though i can see when she is reading her books that she thinks any tricky words through decoding them in her mind then she says them out loud.
