Yesterday Melia really started picking up on the reading without getting herself all worked up! She was reading words out and about, signs on the road, labels in the store... It was VERY exciting for me to see things clicking for her, especially because that's what I've been counting on instead of pushing her too hard.
So last night, on the way home from Bible study, I asked her if she'd read any words to Gma Nae. Her response had me scratching my head...
"No momma. I wasn't in my reading tune. It was playing tune time. You know, I have lots of tunes: shopping tune, reading tune, dancing tune, playing tune, math tune, singing tune. My singing tune is on right now!..." (and she breaks into song..) OK babe- as long as you've found the ON button for that reading tune!!!

too funny, but whatever works, gooo Melia. gdebbie
Love it, Love it! So classic for it to just "kick in" when the time is right. MAIN THING is just have FUN READING.... let them watch you read your own books, read to them LOTS (be silly, use lots of character voices and just have fun reading out loud) ... and they'll learn to love to read too. :)
