I am sure that is how I learned to read as well. My mother read to me all of the time. I LOVED being in the book of the month club as well, my 5th birthday present from my favorite Aunt. I did order her tons of books that my mother read to me, and that I read to my kids. I did not think of picture books. I will have to order some of those.
I will purchase one or the other, not sure which though. Her mother, my foster daughter, feels a bit insecure (she was not a good student and had no academic encouragement until she came to us in HS). She truly has turned out to be an amazing mother and if this helps put her mind at ease then its a small thing to do.
As a reading teacher farmgirl, where do you weigh in? Whole word or phonics?
