Reading!

G read a book to me last night! I am trying to teach him to read even though he is only four. He knows several sight words. Most of them are typical ones like "the" and "and" but he also knows "Thomas," "Gordon," "engine", etc. He can also spell his name and "Thomas" from memory. I'm so proud! In all honesty, he only read about 75% of the words last night. I had to help him with the rest. He also guessed a lot. He would look at the first letter and guess a word that made sense with that letter. He wouldn't sound out words unless I told him to. We still have a lot to do before he knows how to read for real but it was still the most exciting Thomas book we've read in a while!
