cseitter Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Just had to share! My DS has known all his letter sounds perfectly for about 6 months now. Even to the point of looking at a book and trying to figure out the words by each individual sound. But blending just wasn't happenning! Today He READ his first story! Fat Cat, Fat Rat. I am SO excited that it finally worked! Oh the JOYS of homeschooling! LOVE IT! What parent wants to miss that?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscopup Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Kids around here are on a roll lately! Woohoo! I well remember the day my oldest picked up a book and read it. Completely took me by surprise! So neat to see it suddenly click like that! :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebrews3:13 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Today must have been a special day as my 5 year old finally blended and read her first word today after a year of knowing all her phonics. I thought we were in for the long haul. I was so thrilled. It is awesome when they get it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 :hurray: You are so right that no parent wants to miss that first connection! What a deep, deep satisfaction this path brings. Good job! Lisa, six reading so far, one more to go. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundAbout Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Congrats! It's such an amazing thing to watch. My son just started blending for real this week too. Today at Target he saw a coloring book he liked. "Wow, what's this about?" he said. "I don't know, why don't you read the front." I said. "Buh - at mmmm - an. It says Batman!" Of course I was amused when he said with a puzzled look on his face: "Who's Batman?" Clearly my son is deprived, but at least I knew he was really reading it instead of guessing from the cover :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cin Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 What parent wants to miss that?!? And the sad thing is, the teachers who teach our kids see it so often that it has become humdrum to them. But I agree; who wants to miss some of these milestones! First step, first tooth, first word!!! :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholas82 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I know, I can totally relate. I taught my 5 year old phonics this year, and he's taken off reading. It's such an awesome feeling knowing that WE taught them. My other 2 boys went to public school for Kindergarten, so I love this special time w/him. What a joy it is to teach them:) Good job mom!!
