Signs

Sean is slowly but surely learning to read. Being the sensitive sort and afraid of failing, he's taken to quietly reading storybooks by himself rather than read out loud with me. The kindy he attends uses the phonic system and I do work with him on it at home too.

He surprised me this evening by grabbing pencil and paper and asking me for help writing a sentence. He's never done this before. This is what he wrote.

He saw that the cordless phone was not at its station and decided to make a sign and place it there. I was so proud of him.

Aidan was not to be left out and with pen and paper in hand also asked me for help. I was busy then and Sean helped him. This is the result.

Ok, so the grammar's off but I'm proud of the initiative and the fact that they worked together. :)
