Lillie has taken to phonics like a duck to water! In just a short time she has grasped most sounds & corrects herself on some she feels she has got wrong. I would recommend those non-expensive fridge magnets to any parent!!
This morning Lillie read to me for the first time - a little short book published by Methuen Children's Books. 'Pooh Looks for Honey'. Lillie knows the book well & Pooh stories have been a favourite of hers since she was about 2 years old. Half way through, Lillie looked up at me & said "Mummy Im reading!" A huge smile spreading across her face confirmed the reality of it all. Im one proud Mummy today.
Of course she still needed a little gentle prompting with some of the words - but she is realising that its the sounds that form the actual word for her to read........ Watch this space - it might not be long before she is reading Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone (Lillie's current bedtime story) to me...... LOL... I cannot wait!
