Last weekend Gracie learned to read! She asked us why we spelled words somtimes in our conversations. We explained to her that there were times when we didn't want her to know what we were saying. She viewed that as a challenge and asked me to try it at that time. I tried several sentences aloud spelling one word of the sentence. She was able to figure out all of the ones I tried: red, grass, green and rug. Doug and I laughed and said we were going to have to start talking in pig latin. So, the next morning I got out a Bob book (Great for beginning readers!) and asked her to try to read the 6 pages. She did it! Honestly, it wasn't even hard for her. The only 2 words she needed help with were "the" and "on". We are so proud of her! We called her teachers to tell them the good news! Check out the 2 videos!
