The latest milestone!

We are so excited to tell you - EMMA IS READING!!!

We have been practicing letter names and sounds and a few cvc words (consonant, vowel, consonant).

Her book started with (a) and (t) and ten added other letters to it like (m) and (s). The last couple of school days we practiced the words up to the story but did not tackle the story. You may have guessed - today we tackled the story! There were a couple of slow spots where she needed to sound out the letters and actually look at the word and not try to guess what the words were but she did it - three times actually. She read the story twice with me and once for daddy!

It boosts my confidence in teaching as well. :D



HIGH FIVES all the way round!



Way to go Emma - we are so proud of you!

Here is the story she read...

Fat Cat, Fat Rat

Cat. Rat.
Cat sat. Rat sat.

Cat sat, sat, sat.
Rat sat, sat, sat.

Fat, fat cat.
Fat, fat, rat.

Not a novel but she is on her way!

Blessings,
Kim

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
