My pretty Sophia
Sophia turned 5 a month ago and she seems to have just grown up on me overnight. She is a sweet, stubborn, beautiful little girl. She is such a girly girl too. She is ready to start kindergarten but mommy -- not so much. She likes to lay in bed and "practice my reading" as she says but can't read anything yet. I am tempted to start teaching her but am afraid of teaching her before she's ready. I hope she loves to read as much as Olivia and I do.

Happy (belated) Birthday Miss Sophia!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to sweet Sophia! This is my FAVORITE age. (I used to teach this age.) If you want to get her started on the road to reading, but aren't sure if you should begin or not, I would suggest playing some word games with her... play the rhyming game, where you say a word and then you both think of as many words that rhyme with it as you can. You could also play the compound word game, where you say a compound word (like "snowball") and she has to figure out what two words make it up. These are fun ready-to-read games that are low pressure. Another good thing to do is throw in words here and there with enunciation on a particular letter, like "t-t-t-talk." And then just wait... your little one will probably yell out, "Mom! T!" That's another great one to play. (Sorry for the unsolicited advice - can you tell I MISS teaching?)
