This year, my goal is to teach Gab to read. Or at least show Gab how fun reading can be. Every night, Quennie and I would read a book to him. I guess our strategies are effective. Finally, here is Gab “reading” one of his book.
Gab just turned two years old. Impressed?
Well, Gab has a trick. He can’t read the words yet. Instead, he memorized the book page by page. He actually memorized 12 other small books of 4-5 pages. He would open a page and move his fingers across the words. He would then recite it from memory. You’d really think he can read already.
Give him a new book and he has no idea what it is. But read it to him for a week and he would surely recall the lines in every page.
Perhaps, it’s a start to reading. At least, he likes a book over my iPad. And that is a big development.
