"Mommy Mommy I found 'hat'!" Yea!

Let the games begin!! Ladybug is beginning to read!!!! She's learned the short vowel sounds... and is just putting together her first words!!

In the coming weeks she'll have her first book!!! The whole book is short vowel words. She is eager and excited!

Lovebug so wants to help. She wants to just give her the word as Ladybug works it s-l-o-w-l-y out.... Today Ladybug got so excited to figure out "cat".... We all smiled and meowed!!!

Then I shared if we give her the words she'll not have this excitment to find them!! I hope it helps. This has been a hard lesson as big sister knows the answers... but the eagerness to tell all does not always help!!

This fall we started learnign the alphabet. She has made huge leaps in her letter recognization & learning their sounds. We are using Sing, Spell, Read, Write. Look at the info & reviews... and get it 2nd hand!!! I enjoy their songs & right now we ride the farris wheel to combine to the short vowel sounds. You can hear a bit at Sing n Learn.

We are alsow working thru the AO year 0 reading list. This week we'll revisit Make way for Duckings and follow their path on Google Earth! Wow! We are enjoying our flights around the earth!! We just have to fly by the grands as we fly home!!

Ladybug is 5 :)

Grace to you!! ss
