Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / August 2003She reads!
Well my little monkey read her first book out loud to me today :))) Shes been wanting to read for ages and has been picking up words here and there. I wasnt sure whether to try her on one of those Reading schemes cos I like the idea of her learning naturally but I thought her learning a few key words might help her a little so I bought the first five in a scheme. It took her 3 or 4 days to get the hang of the first one (reading 5 mins a day), today we got out the second one and apart from a couple of words she read it to me :))) Sarah >Well my little monkey read her first book out loud to me today :))) > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >a day), today we got out the second one and apart from a couple of words >she read it to me :))) Whoo hoo. Way to go. >Sarah  SignatureDorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..

That's good mothering and don't you forget it! :=P~~ >btw, K owes you all a thankyou letter, a wonderful package arrived this >morning :))) YaY!! Hope it's not too big for her bicycle. That took a lot longer to reach you than I thought it would, strange. -- mags >>>Holy! Not only is she a very smart girl but you're a very good >>>mother, Sarah! Congratulations to Miss K!

I dunno if half our postmen are on holiday or what. When did you post it? Id reckon on about 5 days normally. Its cool for her bike - perfect in fact!

I often feel like another major miracle has happened when DS learns something that takes real brain work. yesterday I came home to hear he has learned the 2x tables and the countries in North America. A quiz this morning resulted in 100% correct answers and a very happily grinning boy. I was walking on clouds to see him accomplish that and know it is all due to husband's efforts, too. So, you keep up your good work and you will see your DD bloom right before your eyes, too. And, don't forget, you homeschooled her in beginning reading, which is probably the hardest part of reading education. -Aula >>It took her 3 or 4 days to get the hang of the first one (reading 5 mins >>a day), today we got out the second one and apart from a couple of words [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > -Aula :)) good for your ds!!! and your dh too. To be honest though, K mostly teaches herself, she makes me feel like a bit of a cheat. Sarah > To be honest though, K mostly teaches herself, she makes me feel like a > bit of a cheat. ah, but you see you give her the opportunity, the encouragement, the good role modeling, and some assistance as needed. Who taught her to recognize letters? I doubt that she picked that up on her own with absolutely no assistance from you! Who applauds correct efforts and gently corrects the incorrect ones? Come on, that's teaching big time! -Aula Good news! How old is your little one again? Sorry, the roll call topic is getting too long (or I´m just too lazy to look it up!). I´ve been intrigued by Maarten´s eagerness to learn how to read. He won´t stop asking us ´what does it say there?´ Apart from that he has a learning game where he gets to spell a word based on pictures that are displayed. It´ll be fun to see when he will make the connection between the words (which he already knows) and the individual letters. Peter Congratulations to the precious darling. :-)))) Such a big step forward. Marc > Congratulations to the precious darling. :-)))) Such a big step forward. > Marc I'll pass it on marc!

Wendy Mummy to Rebecca Grace Anyone who uses the phrase 'easy as taking candy from a baby' has never tried taking candy from a baby.
