jillian Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 She is officially reading!!!!! We started Frog and Toad, and she read two whole pages today!!! She's never read it or had it read to her so I know she's not memorizing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth83 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Teaching a child to read is amazing, right? Why does everyone else make it out to seem like an impossible task that no parent could ever achieve? Now teaching one how to ride a bike? That is what I find difficult. Every parent of a school-attending child would not think twice about that job. "I am a parent, that is what I am suppose to teach them how to do." Congrats!!!

jillian Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 It is. And I totally agree about the bike riding. Its seemed like so long because she has known her letters and sounds for so long since she was 18months. She's 4.5 now and it all clicked.
