Let me tell you, Nadya, as I'm sure others will too, that your command of English is very very good.

You should not let your (self-perceived) lack of perfection stand in the way of educating your 5 year old son.

>I wish it would be true for my 5 old son. He knows letters from the age of 2, but he can not put them together. Unfortunately, I can not teach him read in English, because I have problems reading correctly in English myself. I often catch myself that I start doubting if I read correctly even common word. If I see a new complicated word, I still have troubles. I forgot all the rules how to read correctly and besides there are lots of exceptions anyway.
