Kidlit Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I just wanted to share here what happened today at our house--my 4 year old dd (will be 5 in May) read Mat and Sam (from the first Bob Books collection) with very little assistance! I cannot really explain how it made me feel to know that I taught her how to do that (or at least facilitated it:tongue_smilie:). I just wanted to share with some folks who would really understand.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 That's so exciting! We're getting there and it's just an incredible feeling, huh? Good job, Mom! (Today ds informed me that "and" is a hard word. :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyco Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Good for you both! My dh and I both reminisce about Bob books...Mat sat. Sam sat. It's like a miracle, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinsfamily Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 YEAH!! My 4yo (5 on the 27th) just read #10 from Collection 1 so I know how you feel!! Once it clicks, they start to go through at a pretty good clip. He also read the first 30 pages of Go, Dog, Go today. Crazy, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 We loved the Bob Books. It is exciting when your child starts to read! Congratulations!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Get ready for her to take off like a little rocket, because that's what happened to mine when she finished her first Bob Books -- WHOOSH! She went from "Sam sat on a mat" to just about anything in a matter of weeks, and I have no idea how she did it. I was working through Lesson 68 in OPG and teaching her to read the words "be, he, she, we, me," and I noticed her lips moving and her eyes on another part of the page. I asked, "Honey, what are you doing?" She read out loud the last sentence of the instructor's paragraph -- "Once we have finished reading each of these tiny words together, you will go back to the beginning and read the whole list yourself." My jaw is still in traction. Be prepared to have a reader in your midst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieinCA Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Congratulations! My sons are now 9 and 11 and they still look back fondly on the "Bob" days! I would say teaching them to read has been my greatest accomplishment as a homeschooler. You will miss those days cuddled on the couch... enjoy!
