Claire can read pretty well, but after 15 months of English enrichment, I'm resigned to the fact that Claire reads by sight and will prob remain that way. I don't mind that much, but it means a lot more work for me coz she cannot employ both phonics and sight reading methods, so she will need a lot more exposure to materials and closer supervision.
To give her and her teacher some credit, she does try, but I know her first instinct is to read by sight, and she just stumbles badly whenever she sees new words. I hope she will improve as time goes by, otherwise I worry that she will suffer with spelling because she has to memorize everything. =(
And her grammar is nothing short of appalling, because she is so used to speaking in singlish. Ah, long process to change that.
