My 5 year-old has really shown an interest in wanting to learn how to read. So every afternoon we sit down and make books for him. I do the writing and he does the coloring. Well for the past five days the topic has been race cars. "I like race cars" he would read...I like blue race cars, I like red race cars...now we've moved into striped and polka dotted race cars. Silly as it may seem , it does get him to read these books. It's the repetition that is helping him remember the language structure with the support of the pictures he has colored. Repetitive words will help my son begin to associate what he is saying to what he is seeing. He will soon realize that he CAN read the words on the page!
