Highlights from the Discussion
MummyRoo: My son has been a reluctant reader... now he has just turned three. He learnt his letter sounds about a year ago, but has refused all my attempts to teach him how to sound them together to read words.
DadDude: Congrats, MummyRoo! This made my day. Thanks to everyone here for your enthusiasm and support of Reading Bear!
seastar: RB was what got us really on the road too - she learned very few words through whole-word methods but quickly learned to sound out after watching RB only a few times.
