Sam reads!

See Sam. See Sam read! Read, Sam, read!



We have been working on reading and sounding out words for a long time. Sam learned his letters and all of the sounds that they make when he was about eighteen months old, thanks to The Letter Factory DVD. (I don't feel like I can take credit for teaching him any of that.) Sam hasn't always had the patience for reading, though, so over the past year we have stuck to simple books like the BOB Books. Lately, though, he's wanted to sit down and read more things on his own. I'm always surprised at how many words he can read on signs and boxes throughout the day, too. We'll need to encourage his interest in reading this summer!
