Learning to Read

June 9, 2008 By Melanie Edwards 5 Comments

Baby girl read her first word!

I have a shirt that says “mom” on it – it was a Mother’s Day gift.

Well, last night, as I’m putting on her jammies, she points to the letters and says:

M – O – M – MOM!

Wow! The husband and I were just completely amazed.

    hi guys. in case anyone’s interested, i thought this was a neat idea: a site where kids learning to read can practice doing so (there are number games too, I think) while “hanging out” with a parent, grandparent, etc. via the internet. basically, the kids can see and hear their grandparent and play learning games with them online…

    @Jai: I hear the “d” sound is easier than the “m” sound which is why most kids say dad before mom.

    @Kelly: That looks like a great tool! Seems fun.
