When pointing, remember that in native reading text pointing is a bit different than what most parents tend to do. I posted a long quote from the book on text pointing a while back, it's in the thread:

Btw, you're not alone in having difficulty getting your little one to sit still for flashcards. I never used flashcards. One of the things I liked best about native reading is that the methods are flexible and socially
interactive. Many of the techniques and games in the "Native Reading" book are social, and
encourage movement and manipulation of letter toys and words. That's one of the big differences compared to flashcard methods and YBCR videos. My daughter was also very active and liked to grab things and be physical, and with native reading she used this to her advantage - playing word hide and seek, playing at labeling things around the house - rather than having her curiosity and energy be a problem.
