I teach reading, all day, everyday to kids struggling to learn to read.
The ironic thing is that I cannot teach my own son to read.
Sure, we've been working on it for years but somehow, it just hasn't clicked yet.
Today, Jackson cut out a Wubbzy picture from one of his magazines.
Then he glued it into a notebook and wrote:
"C B P T W W"
as he was writing he said, "look at pirate wubbzy" very deliberately.
This is HUGE!!!!
I'm thrilled that he's 'getting' print contains a message! I *think* he's even got about 50% sound symbol correct in his recording. I'm elated that he choose this activity on his own and wasn't prompted to "write" something.
How exciting that he is beginning to grasp the value of print!
