Zoo

Why do I love this word? Because it is the first one that Jayden officially spelled on his own just because he could. This morning I was cleaning the kitchen and he was playing with the letters on the refrigerator. He smiled and said - "Look mom I spelled a word! Zoo!" I looked and sure enough he had spelled it. It is a little word to some but a big word for Jayden who is 3. He then went on to spell Cat, hat,rat, tap, and pat out perfectly for me with his magnet letters. We have been working on learning to read and he is reading a few small Hooked on Phonics books ,but this was totally on his own. So it is a big moment for my little guy and I of course am the proudest mommy around today! Yeah!! We are on the track to becoming a successful ( and a joyful ) reader!
