Aubrey is learning SO much in kindergarten. Every day she comes home knowing more sight words and sounding out even more words. She has “homework” on occasion that requires her to read short little books her teachers send home and to be honest, a lot of it has been memorization. She was learning but not necessarily reading, yet.
My mother, Shuggie, has been in town for the last week helping me with the chirren. One afternoon Shuggie and Aubrey decided to read Green Eggs and Ham. Aubrey immediately began recognizing words on the pages, “Shuggie! That says, ‘I…AM…Sam!” Aubrey squealed! She was so surprised and excited to be really reading for the first time. Shuggie coached her through several pages and helped her to sound out words.
Aubrey flipped to the next page and even though the page was covered with text, she forged ahead, sounding out words and barely stumbling over larger words like “somewhere and anywhere.” Shuggie watched in amazement as Aubrey read an entire page all by herself.
Aubrey: I do not like…them…here or…there…I do not like….th-em. Sam, I…am.
Aubrey looked up at Shuggie in awe and said, “Damn. I can read.”
YAY Aubrey!! haha I love that kid!
I love it!! Pure and total shock with herself
That is so funny! And I know why she reads so well. It's those books you put in front of her face everyday as soon as you got her home from the hospital.I remember.(ha) It really works! We know now.
I think she deserves a pass on that one. Good girl!
Give the girl credit-at least she knows how to use it!
I just spit. that is hilarious.
It still makes me laugh out loud! That's EXACTLY what I would have thought…can't fault her for that!
So funny!
OMG! I love this! I can just see Shuggie's face when she said it. Total shock and amusement while barely but not really containing a laugh!
Bahaha!!! I forgot this one!
