F is for….

The little one has started to actively read independently. In the morning he wakes up and walks to his bookshelf to get some books. Then he settles down on the sofa and starts reading.
He mimics the way people read. At the moment, he is beginning to focus on words rather than pictures. If he finds an ” F ” in the story, he quietly mumbles his name. His brain is discovering letters and how they play a vital role in story telling. Now he is asking me to read the letters first.
Reading is intimate, like going to the bathroom for the first time. It’s self discovery all over again. We are all works in progress.
He has also picked up J and Y for his parents names. I’ll keep it up an experiment with blocks and out blackboard we have. I need to be abstract so he can learn to play with language.
