" Vaginia Inn

> 18 miles. " It was actually " Virginia Inn 18 miles. " LOL

Responding to my own post. " Vagina Inn " is what he said. He can't

read and I can't type. Leggs

Nope, , not an English teacher, a first grade reading teacher.

Kinda explains how I know all of these funky phonics rules, huh?

Funny thing is that I learned to read by sight and so did my only

child. No phonics here! Leggs

Oh I am sorry just once I saw all those rules, I pictured my 10th English

teacher and everything went blank. I so love to read and I really hope

will start to love to be read to. This is one of things that has bothered me the

most. We started reading to my NT when he was a newborn in the NICU and by 10

months or so, he would go pick out the book he wanted. was a whole other

story. Books were good for chewing on then to step on and to stack or throw but

read....what are you crazy MOM??

Re: rowan reads... some more

, The silent e is like a signal in a word and it sends a

signal to the previous vowel to say it's own name. This works much

of the time when there are two vowels in a one-syllable word. ai

says A, a_e says A, ea says E, o_e says O, ie says I. Works in most

one-syllable words. The pattern is called CVVC (consonant, vowel,

vowel, consonant) or CVCe (consonant, vowel, consonant, silent e.)

Generally, if a one syllable word only has one vowel, it is a short

vowel sound like in cat, tin, dog, set, or jump. Of course, when you

get into two syllable words like movie, then everything changes.Leggs

I LOVE Rowan's ability to sound it out, " Sex movies " is even better

than " Sex moves. " Don't you just love when they read aloud in

public? Brandt was five when he read a highway sign as " Vaginia Inn

18 miles. " It was actually " Virginia Inn 18 miles. " LOL

rowan reads... some more

any tips on how to explain silent " e " here's a good one...

rowan had a doc appt on friday. he picked up a redbook magazine with

jacquie v's fave shania twain on the cover. rowan has a weakness for the

ladies no doubt. he grins and flicks and flaps his fingers all over the

cover. as he does so i notice one of the story titles 5 SEX MOVES ...He'll

Love. i chuckle to myself thinking about his emerging reading skills. then

you guessed it he begins to sound it out sss...eeee...kkkkss

mmm...oooo..vvvv..eeeee...sss. then he puts it all together and begins to

shout, for all to hear " SEX MOVIES! SEX MOVIES! "
