Sandra great links!
I think it's quite humorous in my twisted way that now that we aren't
trying to cram down phonics, which I never understood, she is
starting to read simply words on her own, and through her own means.
It's just that little, YEAH!

The other day she wrote the word Dad on a piece of paper, came up and
said, it says dad. Yup so cool. And that came just from her love of
handwriting and drawing. I figured that since my oldest son taught
himself to read at 2 1/2 that she would have to be taught. Now I
know though and every kid learns when left in freedom in their own
time and own pace. What a joy to see happen.
