Finally found my role on teaching my kid to read

My wife handles most of the educational stuff with our 4 year old. She researches the activities, picks the apps, does the crafts. When I try to help I usually just end up feeling like I'm doing it wrong or getting in the way.

I asked her to give me one thing that could just be mine with him. She set us up with reading.com and now we do that before bed while she gets his sister down. He calls it dad time. I also started taking him to the library on Saturday mornings, just us, he picks whatever books he wants.

I'm not going to pretend I understand all the phonics stuff but he's starting to sound out words and I was there for that. Feels good to have my own lane instead of just being backup.
