a kid at 4 years old - reading capability

could any mum share their kids reading capability when the kids are / were at 4 years old
e.g. which stage of popular readers like oxford reading tree / ladybird: read it yourself

I would like to take it as a benchmark, thx.

At this young age, the benchmarking is not very useful because in one year, the child's capability can change drastically.  When they get to Primary school, then comparison becomes more meaningful.

Recently my 3.5-year-old kid can read aloud ORT Stage 5.  Days ago, he was also attracted by the Stage 7 and 8 books (entitled "The Motorway" and "The Kidnappers") that I borrowed from the library.  After attempting to read by himself (sight reading), he asked his mom to read them for him.

From the other angle, you may refer to what book suppler suggests/expects.

For example, age of 4/5 is expected to read the pink and red series.

Oxford Reading Tree Official site Stage Chart:
http://www.oup.com/oxed/primary/oxfordreadingtree/chart_2010/

Magic Box ( level 1- 8 )
Level 1 - 4 : 0 - 5 歲
Level 5 - 8 : 6 - 8 歲

如果識 "read" 本書, 即係小朋友已經識得個生字點串 ?

agreed that no need to benchmarking, as long as she is interested and put different books around her and you will be amazed their reading capability.

My son is 6 now and he was able to read by himself since 4. He finished all the ORT series while he was 5 and he is reading magic tree house chapter book now.

I was once tried the Ronlad Dahl - Fantastic Mr Fox with him but he was not interested.

No.  Spelling is different.  Just like can read Chinese characters doesn't mean know how to write all of them.

都未必, my daughter 3.5 years old, she can read 很多生字但唔識串, 如中文佢認到D字但唔會知筆順或點寫

Can your daughter just pick up a book and read by herself (with no one pointing to the words? How do you train up your daughter? My son is capable of reading ORT stage 8-9 but I have to sit beside him and point from word to word. Also, he prefers me reading to him rather than reading on his own.

Maybe one day, when the time comes, he can just pick up a book and read by himself.

Update... my daughter went from totally illiterate 1 year ago to reading chapter books now!

Really amazing... and yes, the benchmark doesnt really matter

I believe the readability could be speed up very suddenly once the child gets used to reading more and more. Last summer, my girl could not read chapter books and could only use phonics to recognise words.  But now, she could read Magic tree house without help and is now advancing to reading more difficult books.  Making sure he/she is interested in reading is more important than measuring their capability.  Once they're interested in it, they will pick up the skill very quickly.  No worry.

我有Isaacmommy 的同一個問題, 小女又係鍾意我伴讀, 佢就快五歲, 可以讀出好多英文字, 但係唔係個個字都識得解, 所以好多時佢即使讀晒成本書都唔知人地講咩 ..我有叫佢嘗試自己睇, 但係睇唔夠兩頁, 佢就會話唔明白, 要我伴讀, 依家去圖書館的書, 越來越長, 我冇辦法可以晚晚讀咁多故事書比佢聽 .

請教其他媽咪, 你地係點樣引導佢地自己睇書架 ?

P.S. 佢地咁細個, 可以教佢地自己查字典嗎 ? 有冇邊本字典可以推介呢 ?

謝謝 ~
