Just engage in helping your child with reading at home until you find a method that works best with your child. When I first taught my children to read, I used a method of phonics, but quickly realized this worked for my eldest but not my youngest. She didn't grasp reading. So after trial and error I began to realize she was a visual learner who needed both elements to learn to read. She only became successful in learning after the sound and visual were combined. And now she is reading at a higher grade level than her fellow students. I have seen a huge improvement, and suggest for anyone whose kid is struggling with reading to try using both sound and visual to help their kid overcome it too. You don’t have to leave instructions for your child’s teacher. Just engage in helping your child with reading at home until you find a method that works best with your child.
