The next stage of development

Little Frog is at a great stage of development. Since she became a decent reader AND got saved last year, whenever she is stressed, upset, tired, angry, or any other negative emotion, I send her to spend some alone time with the Bible. She's been reading through Psalms whenever she's upset and another chapter of Genesis each day, on her own.

I am really enjoying watching her absorb the Word and let it start changing her bit by bit. I'm praying her hunger for the Word continues to grow daily and that she will always run to it first.

Nap time

Today's nap time includes Frog reading to Monkey.

Oh! The joys of phonics!

Laura asked me how to spell "monster." This is what she came up with.

Zina told her it was right.

Officially a Reader

Laura may have skipped nap today, but she did it so that she could read Doctor Suess to me. She got through Green Eggs and Ham with almost no help from me. She needed a bit more help with There's a Wocket in my Pocket, but since "bureau" doesn't follow English Phonetic Rules, I can't blame her for that. She has officially crossed over to reading for pleasure.

Sloppy reading

Laura is super smart. But she's too full of energy and life to spent more than five minutes doing anything. This boundless energy affects her reading as much as anything else. If she gets the first couple letters of a word down, then she'll guess the rest of the word based on the pictures. I've been covering up a lot of pictures lately. Sometimes, the results are funny enough that I have a hard time reminding her of the rules.

According to Laura, this page of her custom book says:

"Bibi lifts the red bus." I laughed for a good ten minutes.
