reading

Even though we are still working on the alphabet (Leah can be a tad, shall we say, stubborn when it comes to working on her letters), she does thoroughly enjoy reading books.  I figure we will stick with what she loves and continue reading...based on what I know about my little girl, she will learn the letters when she's good and ready.  This is afterall the little girl who didn't speak at all until she turned 2 years old.  Despite all kinds of prompting, Leah just wouldn't talk until SHE decided it was time.

 Lately she's been reading the stories outloud herself.  While it's neat to hear her recite the simple books she has memorized, my favourite is listening to her read other stories and make it up as she goes along with the pictures.  Even better than that is when she reads in french (or gibberish, as it sounds like to the untrained ear)...listening to Jillian read outloud in french each day has Leah thinking she can do it as well!
