Today Trey was coloring on his own and excitedly called me over to read a word he had written. It said “ROOZ.”
“Can you read it, Daddy?” he asked.
“Rooz? That’s not a word,” I replied.
“Yes it is. It says /rōz/” he pronounced.
“Oh! ROSE, like the flower.”
“No, rose, because Jesus rose!”
Precious!!
I bet he is building on a principal we talked about when reading “Hop on Pop” together. When we came to words like ‘see’ and ‘bee’ I told him that the ‘e’ said its name when there are two of them. He’s learning and applying what he is learning.
I’m so proud of him!!
