Both my husband and I where avid readers when our twins where small. We read to them all the time. I have never so much wanted to bang my head on a wall so hard so often as the year they learnt to read. I had taught myself to read before I went to school, and neither of my parents where readers. It just could not understand how somebody could not grasp reading. I will add my twins are now at uni and extremely academically gifted. My daughter reads for pleasure, my son devours twice the required reading in text books then some but will not pick a novel if you paid him.
Children learn to read at their own pace and the old jigsaw trick made no difference with my pair they had dozens they mastered in minutes. It still did not help with reading.
