My daughter is an English/Japanese bilingual and has just started going to Preschool (Japanese) in April. Until now she has been at home with me and has been stronger in English than Japanese. I read to her every night .She knows her alphabet and can read and write her name and I have played with her sounding out letters and identifying words (although we haven`t done any kind of formal phonics program). The last few months we have had a bit of a break from that as she has been learning to read her name in Japanese and just get used to preschool (and being immersed in a Japanese only program) er preschool is relaxed and will only start teaching pre-reading/writing (Japanese) next year.In the Japanese school system she will not learn to read English until middle school, so teaching reading is all up to me. I am wondering where to go from here....whether to push it now or ease off...to start with books or a phonics program.Any advice from experienced teachers/parents welcomed.
