My son called me over.
“Mom,” he said,”remember when I used to look at a word like ‘fox’ and I’d sit there, trying to sound it out? And it would take forever?!”
“Yes,” I said.
“Well, isn’t it funny,” he said, “that now I just blast through sentences and pages of words. I don’t even have to think about it! Why is that?”
And then we both sat there, silent, thinking about that.
If your child is struggling with reading and sounding-out – here’s a great reminder that one day… it will all just click.
And reading will become a new language that your child doesn’t even have to think about – that he’ll just know – that he’ll blast right through.
It will.
