Reading

We’ve been taking a late start academics, natural approach to reading with Katya. I think she knows all the names of the letters and sounds, but I had the doctor use the pictures side of the eye chart just in case. After she learned to read the first BOB book last year, I got so excited that she stopped wanting to have anything to do with them. So for quite a while now she’s just played some literacy (and other) games on the iPad from time to time.

Today Hunter was on top of me, and the oven timer was going off. I asked K to turn it off. She said she didn’t know which button to push. I told her it was on the bottom by the towel. “Zero?” she asked. “No, the one in the corner.” “The OFF button?” “Yes…..hey, did you just read that?” She gave me a look and said, “I can read some words, you know.”

Nope. I did not know that. But I do now!
