Describe a recent event you are fond of.
How rewarding it was for me and Kylees's mom to see the pride and confidence on Kylee's face yesterday, as she read her first book!
This time, she didn't have to look at the pictures, to try and guess the words. She didn't have to memorize the book to "look" like she could read.
Kylee is 8 years old and has been trying to read for a few years. She can read some words that she see's in her big sisters texting though, like "Luv" "Yes" and "No."
I learned that Kylee loves to draw and soon Kylee and I used her drawings to help her remember the phonics.
Kylee has learned that I care about her learning but I also care about her heart and that I will never pressure her, or make her feel incompitent or step-in when she is trying to process a sound because I do not want her to think that she can't do it. I also remember to review her accomplishments so far, so that her confindence continues to build.
Finally, I know when her mind if full for the day and I know it's important to keep learning fun until she takes over and owns it for herself.
