Tonight after choosing new Usborne first reading
books from the library, Jaspey decided it was time to try & read one with
me to Daddy & Darcey. We have very briefly touched on the concept of
reading & he has spent each day from school showing me his lovely picture
books & reading these from his own imagination what he believes the story
to be. He has also had books with words but none that I would say coincide well
with beginners. Since the end of his last term Jasper really understood that if
you spell out individual letters in a word they sound like a word. At which he
was inspired. So he has read cat, hat, is & it with confidence & pride.
He has gained such an interest that I see reading becoming a hobby to him. I am
the proudest Mama after he so enthusiastically & confidently read three
pages to us & not only were they easy sound words, but also he sounded out
roll & cannot to the point of figuring them out after playing with the
letters out loud, not really knowing how six letters connected but then magically
combining them all to this awesome bloody word. I was so excited & we all
gave him such praise. It was just incredible, such a wonderful family moment.
Boastful as I am my overwhelming pride just cannot contain. He is such a
superstar my darling boy*
