Since Ab wants to learn to read, I've started a "letter of the week" project. We are only on the 3rd week, but it's going good. On Wednesday night we take a piece of newsprint paper, and write the letter. Then fill in the page with words, and pictures of the words, that start with that letter. Then it goes up on the wall and we reference it during the week, and at the library we pick out books that have that letter on it.She had trouble with "C" this last week. She wouldn't repeat it back, and days later, still couldn't tell me the name of the letter the way she did with "A" and "B". Then yesterday, a light bulb goes off, or is it on?...., in my head. The letter "C" is also a word. See. We hung up the poster the first week and said,"See, Abby. This is the letter "A"." Then the next week,"See Abby. This is the letter "B"." Then this week, "See Abby. This is the letter "C"." And probably in her head, she's been waiting for us to tell her what letter it is!!!! "What is it mom?!" It's the letter C. What is it Abby? "What is it mom?!?" It wasn't clicking for either of us. But now I get it! We'll have to come back to that one later :)
We pulled into the Albertsons parking lot last night and she says, "Are we going in there? The one with the "A"?" :) One step closer.
*note: the children's books at the library have a sticker on the binding of the book that says "ABC reading". So the the past 3 weeks, EVERY book had an "A","B", and "C" on it because of the sticker! :)
