Reading

Patrick has started to read! We have been doing a little bit with flashcards and sounding out words, and then I found some beginning reading books at the library, and he read a whole book by himself!

He has always had a love for books, and he still sits in his room by himself for a while each day, looking at books.

He does a great job sounding out words as long as it is a new book. He memorizes his books very quickly, so if I have read him a book before, he will probably just tell me the story instead of actually trying to read the words.

He also loves spelling. He always asks me how to spell words, or he will hop up from lunch and NEED to use the magnetic letter on the fridge to spell some words we have been talking about at lunch. He really is a smart kid, and I am excited for him to go to school next year.
