Monkey and I have been reading Dr. Suess’s ABC at bedtime for the last couple of weeks and my boy is really soaking it up.
He knows that “H” comes after “G” and he loves “H” so he starts giggling before I’ve turned the page. He tells me that “I” comes after “H” and that “T” comes after “S”. Last night, he told me “Wee” when I turned the page to “V.” He was very serious about this and took the book from my hands so he could point at the letter “V” while telling me “Wee” repeatedly. I guess he wanted to be sure I was following along.
After we finished reading the rest of the book he opened the inside back cover, which has all of the letters on it, and he located the “V.” Once again looked at me, pointed and told me “Wee.” So, I guess there is no doubt he knows “V” now we just need to work on the other 25 letters 🙂
Evan giggles when we get to “K”…the “king’s kerchoo.”
Small steps are the biggest steps 🙂
I would like for him to recognize the letters of his name before school starts. Wee is not one of them, lol, but you’re right…it’s a big step. He’s recognizing and naming a letter! Go Monkey!
The king’s kerchoo gets a laugh here too. Z is also a big favorite at the moment…I read “Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz” really fast and he cracks up. He does not like P, I think it’s my singing of all the letters leading up to it that he doesn’t enjoy 😀
