Helping 4 Year Old with Reading
My four year old is working on some reading projects in her junior kindergarten class. She gets extremely defensive if you try to help her at all and then just either wants to shut the book altogether or stomps off. I think I am being patient and using a gentle voice when I work with her but I don't know what else to do. I work as a writing instructor at the university level, so teaching isn't a completely new activity for me (granted four year olds and 20 year olds are very different) Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
