GUESS WHAT?

Weston read his first book today! I am so happy!

It is a Bob Book. It has 8 pages and 21 words. He did it! I am so happy.

Mat sat. Sam sat.
Mat sat on Sam.

The End.

We diligently sounded out s-a-t, m-a-t and s-a-m each time! WHEW!

He has been doing great at learning letters, but hasn't shown any interest in putting letters together into words. I decided not to press the issue and let him enjoy school.
We have practiced some ladders:
Ba
Be
Bi
Bo
He would only do about five of those before losing interest, so for him to read this whole book is really a big step of maturity and skill. He really enjoyed it too! Yay Weston!

Go, Weston!!! I love that you are not putting lots of pressure of him. I am doing the same for L. Just letting him develop a love learning without the push factor. I love you, Becca Bunnell!
