Lightning Bug comments frequently that she really wishes she could read. I usually say, won't that be great! I play phonics games with her and we read her starfall books. But, I haven't taken the time to really work with her. I know each kid is different--my older three learned to read by themselves and were reading very well by age 5. Lightning Bug just turned 6 in November and can only read a handful of words. We are going to really focus now on helping her read. We put up a "word wall" (a large piece of blue poster paper) today on the wall near our kitchen table. That way everyone can see what she can read and she will be able to review often. She loves it and so does Dad! We put up only a few today, we'll add more each day.
Her words are;
A
Love
Red
Go
Mom
Dad
Happy
Fox
Is
The
In
On
He
Man
Will
You
Me
Has
I hope this will help her and inspire Jitter Bug to learn to read!

Are you putting up new words each day for her to learn, or just the ones that she already knows?
The first words we put on the wall were mostly words she knew. Will and fox were new words she just learned. She knows more we just didn't put them all up the same day. We will add more today.
Have you added any new words?
