Friday, May 30, 2008
I'm sitting here surfing the web and watching the Great American Spelling Bee...and wow do I feel stupid. So far I have not seen ONE WORD THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD OF! lol! let alone be able to spell it. I have to give props to these kids...all around 13 yrs old.
it's down to the final 2 at the moment...a winner may be "crowned" by the time i'm done typing this post...wow..the word he just spelled!!
it's down to the final 2 at the moment...a winner may be "crowned" by the time i'm done typing this post...wow..the word he just spelled!!It does make you motivated to get your child(ren) to read, and just learn in general. Which brings me to the point of this post...I am so proud of my lil man, my son Gavin. He will be 3 at the end of July and at the rate he is going he may be able to read by kindergarten! he knows all his letters, can distinguish most lowercase letters...and just simply amazes me! My husband says he was reading by the time he was five. So my question is this: do you think that when it comes to reading, it's more hereditary? or do you have to just start teaching them young? Because my son was obsessed with his colors and knew them all by his first birthday. yes, i'm bragging now...i'm a proud mommy and it's allowed!
ESCLANDRE- that's the word the boy is attempting to spell right now...boy, you have to google this word and just laugh. I may have been able to use that word at some point, and probably will in the future with my toddler! lol!
GUERDON...this is the winning word. WOW. Congrats to the winner. This is the first time I have watched this and I'm glad I did. Encouraging for kids and parents...
Feel free to leave a comment bragging about your
child(ren)! you know it makes you feel good. you know you want to. you know you should!

How funny. You should brag. That is impressive to say the least. I really do think it is how the child is wired. Some of my kids started reading young and others took longer to really get the hang of it.
