So, reading for me when I was younger was a long horribly painful experience. So when Tuckers Preschool teacher mentioned that this year they would be learning sight words, and we should be reinforcing them at home, I kind of got a little “anxiousy” inside.
That is cause when I was little, it took me a long time to get this concept. The concept of reading in general. I immediately began to question myself, how am I to teach this concept that I couldn’t understand for YEARS?
Well, It is a good thing that we are easing into things, we are working on sight words such as: You, I, A, It, And. I can handle that right?
And the good news, I found these simple books at the DI that had these sight words in them, and we sat down to read them last week.
We read them once or twice, and then this…

Tucker can read them! I am so proud of him! He is pointing at each of the words, and so he may have even memorized them, but either way, He understands what each word means (And that each word has a meaning!) That is a part of reading right?
Maybe this isn’t going to be so bad after all.
