We have been working with C on his reading. The blending of the sounds just wasn't clicking in his head, so we have been working with him a little each night and just going over it with him.
We having been working on reading the words that Ms. R sent him home with and he has been getting a little better each night. Tonight, when I sat down with him, I got out his BOB books.
He received these for Christmas in anticipation of learning to read. These are very easy books (12 books in set 1 -- 5 sets total) that introduce a few new sounds in each book. Perfect for beginning readers.
C looked at the first book and just started sounding out the words. He completed reading the first book with very, very minimal help from me.
My husband and I were so excited and you could just tell that C was so, so proud of himself. I couldn't quite believe it, myself, but it looks like the repetitive practice is working for him!
He then wanted to go on to the second book and read that one, as well, with just a little help on a few words and the sight words from me!
How neat and awesome it is to see your child grow and learn! I am so proud of him! Way to go, C!
Have a blessed day!
yeah - how cool.
