Beth, how does the child perform when asked to make words with the tiles during that part of the Fundations lesson? Could it be that she is having trouble relating the visual of the letter to the sound? When she is reading a text, does she rely more on picture clues and making the text makes sense OR does she sound out most of her words? I have seen students that cannot decode/encode in isolation but can read text. It is due to the fact that they are using many strategies when reading a text.
