Words Everywhere!

It is so fun to watch the world open up for students as they begin to realize they know how to read and that means they can write too!  Up until this point we've talked a lot about how good readers look and sound and that reading the pictures or telling your pictures is the way to begin with both reading and writing.  But, all of a sudden your children are realizing they can read (AND WRITE) real words and the pure joy and pride in themselves is unmistakable.

"Ship" - A label for the drawings these students are making so their work will be sure to be recognized.
