This time last year I brought the first Bob Books to the Island to start teaching Leah how to read. She knew all her letters and the sounds they made and was a VERY eager student. So we figured out how to dedicate about 30 min a day to "playing school". She caught on quick! We started out with a mixture of Bob books and Challenger books but ended up dumping the Challenger books early on as they seemed a bit boring. In January she started at a different preschool with her favorite teacher Miss Sharon and reading really took off! She was so motivated at the idea of "passing off" books for her teacher and would NEVER let me skip a day of reading! Since January she has filled up 4 reading charts (140 books total passed off)! And still won't let me skip a day of "playing school". In the last month or so she has started reading beginner chapter books and LOVES them. Her favorites right now include Mr. Putter and Tabby, Mercy Watson, Henry and Mudge, Poppleton, and the Little Bear books. The great thing is these are all level "J"and "K" which she is very comfortable reading and there are so many of them!! So far we only have a few of each that I picked up at DI and can't wait to collect more.
Here is a little clip of her reading Mr. Putter and Tabby Walk the Dog. It will be so fun to see what the next year brings!
