Eliana and the Flash Cards
Monday, November 12, 2012 at 10:08PM Today, Eliana asked if she could look at some flash cards that I had made for Michaela many, many years ago. One by one, she read them. It was pretty fun.
She tried to sound out "Christian" based on the rules that she knows about reading, and after she did that, she adjusted what she had said and figured out that it read "Christian." (She hasn't learned about "-tian" yet, for example.)
The card after that one said "Daddy," which she read without a problem, and which she thought was hilarious for being so easy.
She picked up and read card after card, with very little trouble.
If we came to a word which follows a rule she hasn't learned yet, I simply explained what it was and she would read the word (like "ph" says "f").
She went through quite the respectable portion of the pile of words. And she was clearly proud of the fact that she was reading big words like "elephant" and "swimming" on her own (mostly).
She wasn't the only one who was proud, that's for sure.
Michaela and I agree that our favorite word that she read, just as easily as you please, was "lipstick"!
