Jonathan

Today Jonathan came home and said, I know how to spell fat! F-A-T.
So I said, then you can spell lots of words! I sat down with him and we wrote out bat, cat, sat, mat, fat and rat. Then I wrote this:

A big fat rat hit a yellow cat on the mat.
The yellow cat hit the big fat rat with a bat.

He read it! Next, I wrote out:

Anna and Jon like the little red car but they like the yellow cat more.

He read that! Wow! When did this happen?

I can see the red fire truck. But I like yellow fire trucks.

Read that too! Then he wrote: I like it.

Next, I wrote:
I like the dog on the mat. But I like the fat cat on the mat more.

He read that!

Then he wrote:
I see the bat. But I see the cat.

WOW! I am very impressed with him. I think I might be prouder right now than I was when he started walking!

I know, isn't it amazing! I don't think I could read that well even at the end of 1st grade.
