Not to brag, but...

Joy read to me tonight!!!

She has been doing SO GREAT in school this year, especially with beginning sounds of words. She walks around naming objects and saying what letter they begin with.

Last week, she brought home a list of sight words they are working on in school, and tonight I realized one of her beginning reader books at home contains several of those sight words.

So...we sat down to attempt to read the book, and SHE DID IT!! I even covered up the pictures so she couldn't use them as cues, and she still did great. I had to help her with a few words she wasn't familiar with, but she even managed to phonetically sound a few words out.

The book basically consisted of stuff like, "Dog is hot, cat is not. Dog is hot, boy is not. Boy is cool in the pool." And so on...

I am so proud. I truly believe this is the result of great teachers in the new school district we moved to this fall, and the time I've put in reading her about 10 books a day.

It all pays off friends, so be encouraged!!
