Learning Observed

Today Jessica was reading “The New House”. She was pointing to the words. We read together “This is for the kitchen”. I pointed to the man in the window and asked her what she thought he was saying. She said, “No!” We turned the page and the words said “This is for the lounge”. Jessica read, “this is for the room”. I pointed to the word “lounge” and asked what does it start with. She said “i”. I said, “L for lounge”. The next page was the bedroom. Jessica read, “this is the for the room”. I asked her, “what room?” She said, “bed”.

Evidence of learning

Jessica was able to point to the words when she was reading. I wonder if she does this at home?
