My son picked radishes from our garden today. He ate all three.
Zack: Mom? Why are radishes so spicy?
Me: That's how they grow, son.
Zack: I'm gonna ask God why he made them so spicy. *bows head* Dear God, why did you make radishes so spicy? *waits, opens one eye and looks up at me* Did he say anything?
Zack just turned four last month, which totally throws off my life plan of having a three-year-old reader, but I am thrilled that he is actually reading now! I've been relentless from the beginning with pointing out words and letters everywhere and reading to him throughout everyday, not just at bedtime. I resisted the urge to order My Baby Can Read, because I knew wanted a child who could truly comprehend what he was reading. It's happening!
I highly recommend Bob Books--sold everywhere, especially if your kiddo has phonics down.
Even if they don't have phonics yet, each book introduces one to three letter sounds and repeats primarily those sounds throughout each book. In subsequent books where new letter sounds are introduced, the old ones show up--so each book builds on the one before. Bob has a Phonics series too.
My son was reading these books within days of receiving them.
I was all...
And...
He was in his room sleeping and I was sleeping in mine yesterday afternoon. He came in and woke me up talmbout he want to read his Bob Books. I hit record on the iPhone...right after an interrupted nap...so pardon my sharpness. lol
