Learning to Read

Now that she has some momentum, Sav has decided that reading is super cool.  She's asking for extra pages to do each night. We should encourage this enthusiasm. Should. Here's how it goes.

Sav points to a word on the page to read:  Birthday!
Mom: Sound it out, Sav.
Sav: Rainbow!

Mom: Sound it out, Sav.
Sav: Oookkkaaay.  Ssss.
Mom: yes!
Sav: Saturday!
Mom: Sound it out, Sav.
Sav: Sandwich!
Mom: Sound it out, Sav.
Sav: Ooookaaay. Sssss.  Ccccc.  Ssssssccccc.  Scared!
Mom: Sound it out, Sav.
Sav: Scattered!
Mom: Sound it out, Sav.
Sav: Scottish!
Mom: Sound it out, Sav.
Sav: Scurry!
Mom: Sound it out, Sav.
Sav. Okkkaaaaay. Ssss. Ccccc. Rrrrrr.
etc. etc.
Finally, we get there, to scrambled.
And finally, we get to the end of the section we agreed to read.

Then Sav asks: Shall we do two more pages?

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Need to blog this for therapy, then post a bunch of other stuff before Sav can get online and read about us making fun of her!
