Not sure if this is the right forum for this:

My fiance and her kids moved in with me recently from Oklahoma...and she has a 5 1/2 yr old that can't read and will be starting Kindergarten this year.

I'm trying to engage her, she enjoys stories and being read to, but when it comes to answering questions about the story, or even trying to sound out words (I'm talking "cat", and "up", things like that), she throws a fit and just won't do it.

She was in a Pre-K Program last year and I don't think they really did much with her regarding reading.

Today I bought a couple activity books that require the person to do a page or two a day, and I'm hoping that will help...but it's concerning.

Anyone had any experience with this type of thing?

She's exteremely imaginative and I know she has it in her, but for some reason we can't pull it out....we are both huge readers, and know the value of getting her to read.
