We decided to change up Joely's reading/phonics lesson today and video recorded her reading a Bob book as a kind of Show and Tell. Joely, I think, has hit a big milestone this week in that she is suddenly sounding out words less and less and is reading with more fluency. Way to go, Joely! (Don't you just love the flexibility we have in homeschooling!)
Check out Canadagirl's Blog for more Show and Tells.
We used Bob books to teach my son to read. Those are great!!
That was awesome Joely! You did a fantastic job, especially since you were reading upside down! I have a hard time with that. Keep reading and reading! 🙂
Joy, you're right about her fluency. She did a fantastic job. Wow, you really should thank her teacher.
Wow- great job Joely, you are quite a reader!
Joy- what a great idea to motivate kids to read aloud… my kids love to see themselves on video, they don't like to read aloud … maybe we can meet in the middle on this one! Thanks for the idea!

Cool Joely, You are really doing well reading aloud. I have been a constant reader of books since I was about your age, Having many wonderful journeys and adventures through reading is great , And can be enjoyed almost anywhere. I hope you will find as much pleasure in reading books as I always have. I am very proud of you ! Grandmother

WOW! Joely you have learned to read and also to read upside down. That means you really understand the words. Nothing can stop you now from learnng anything you want. What is your favorite story? Maybe you will read some more for us. Love you lots.
It is wonderful to have flexibility and be able to use what works for your children. Congrats, Joely!
Hi what a great job. Especially since it was being read upside down…
That is a great idea! My kids love videotaping themselves, I never thought to have my ds taped while reading. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
Joely is a very talented reader—she can read upside down, too! I found your video a fantastic idea, and I may try that with my grandsons this fall when I help my DD teach them to read.
Good job Joely. You are getting to be a really big girl. I sure wish we could visit you. You have such talented parents. Joy, wouldn't it be fun to have our two families get together like we used to? Maybe one day!
