It's typical for homeschooling parents to freak out, get worried when their children show any kind of delays in learning such as reading. I know I have when it comes to my daughter, now 16, and her reading skills, or lack of reading skills in the early years. We were told many things over the years. One year we were told convergence insufficiency and with some studying up on it I applied some multisensory learning.
While it helped, some we still didn't make any real measurable process at least not process in my eyes. She grew older and I grew even more leary that I wasn't going to find something that would help her learn to read. I remember at one point, I just downright frustrated with the lack of process that I just basically gave up. Well, not really -- seeing I still went in search of yet another program and ways to help her. However, I do remember clearly telling her something along the lines you have to do this, you have to apply yourself, it's on you now. It was at that point I found sight phonics and basically had her do it daily. She went through the program nearly twice.
