learning to read

Ladybug is finally willing to try to learn to read. She has no tolerance for making mistakes so she gives up quickly. But at least she is willing to make a try. This is a step in the right direction.

She knows her letters.

She knows the sounds each letter makes.

She is getting the concept of sounding it out (oh how that phrase brings back nightmares for me).

But something is getting lost in translation.

Ladybug:
nnnnnnn
oooooooo
tttttttttt

nnnnnn
ooooooo
ttttttttt

nnnnnn
ooooooo
ttttttttt

indoor!

Me: (If I could show you a picture with my eyes crossed I would). Um.... No. How did you get from N-O-T (sounds) to indoor?

Ladybug: Oh I give up!

Me: Try again.

I am so not a teacher.

  1. I think she speaks the same language as Drama Mama!! She has improved dramatically since this summer. She just wasn't ready until she turned 7 I guess. Goofy Girl may be 50 before she starts...not that she doesn't want to make mistakes..she just forgets 5 mins after she read something, what it was she just read!
