Over the last few months (well this entire school year) Corbyn has been working on his letters. I quickly learned that he is a hands on learner. Meaning he is like his Momma and has to see and touch it to know what it is. but unlike his dad and brother who reads it and can instantly master it. The poor little guy has struggled to learn his ABC's and 123's but just in the past few weeks he has been able to count to 100 nearly on his own and he can pretty much get through his ABC flash cards. He has also started getting familiar with the sounds.
Tonight after I read him his bed time story he says to me "Mom, I wish I could read" aww melt my heart. So I took the opportunity to show him how before you read he has to know all the sounds of the letters then I took it 1 step farther and showed him a few little words. together we made the individual sound then put them together. then BAM! the light turned on! he now understands what it's going to take. I love it when I'm teaching my boys something and they struggle so much with it then all of a sudden you just see their eyes light up with glee when they finally "get it"
