My little sister is getting that way. I helped her with her homework a couple of years ago when she was learning to read. I was helping her read her book and the sentence is like "Mary is good at soccer." She looked at me and said what's the first word? I said sound it out! M-a-ry. She got it. 'Mary is...' I asked, what does that word sound like? She said "good." So now she's already at 3/4 done through the sentence and she's like WHAT IS THE LAST WORD, NEXT PAGE!!!!!! I am like what the hell? Then she says Mary is good at stuff." She sees the S and just makes up a word to get through it and then asks what the word is. All she wants is me to read it to her and go on.
I FORCED her to sound out every word in the book, and guess what, she read the whole fucking book to me. My parents tell her the words if she messes up once. Fuck that.
