Hi everybody,
I'm new too!

I don't have answers, but a question...

I'm Italian and I live in Italy with my 2 boys, now almost 4 and 2 years old. I've started to teach them to read in Italian using Doman method about 2 months ago but it was probably too late.
The big one can now read word, but phonically. That's good. He can also write simple words. It seems to me that he's clearly left brained (He already knew letter sounds when we started)
The little one doesn't show any interest, but as soon as we started his speaking skills skyrocked! How wonderful! He's not reading, but speaking well now.

Since they were little they have been exposed to English. They sing English songs and enjoy listening to simple English stories.

I am so overwhelmed by the large amount of reading resourses in English. Reading bear sounds great for the older one and Little reader for the younger. I'm so sorry I can't find what I'm looking for in our first language! (And flashcards are not working for us...)

Italian phonics is so simple: one letter corresponds to one sounds. (with exceptions, of course) English is so complicated, expecially for the vowel sounds!

Should they learn to read in Italian first, and then English?
Do both at the same time and trust in their brain's ability to create two different sets of phonics rules?
Just go for English?
