Step 3: I agree with the fact that phonics, word recognition, and whole language equals reading fluency. Phonics helps kids sound a word out by decoding them letter by letter, word recognition helps them recognize words by their shape, and whole language helps them recognize words by the context of the sentences. Once a child knows all these steps, then they can build up on their fluency. It also helps when a child dosen't know what a particular word is and they are trying to sound it out. When they know how to sound out a word by breaking it down piece by piece, then they can easily figure out the word. Their fluency will start to increase the more times they keep sounding out new words. The child should then start quickly picking up on words any time they start reading or writing. In my opinion, a poduct that sounds like your child could benefit from it, then I would purchase it to see if it works. However, you may want to make sure that the product will really work for your child so you are getting your money's worth. Some products can be extremely expensive. If it's not benefiting your child, then you wasted some money. I think the safest way to get information on a product is to view it on the website. That way you are able to know the price of your product and decide whether to purchase it or not. I believe that a child should know how to read so they can takle any situation life throws at them.
