Emily is a smart little cookie. She loves books. She also likes to play around on www.starfall.com. (awesome for teaching kids letters and their sounds!). As such, she can read and has been for about 6 months or so. And by read, I mean she can sound out all of the letters and figure out 3-4 letter words. Tonight she told me she wanted to read me the book "Are You My Mother?" She sounds out each word and I help her when the letter sound is different than the normal rule (i.e. "said" is not s a ih d). So many exceptions to the "rule" in our language. Scott came home while we were reading and took these pictures. It was a precious moment:

We all only get one "mommy," and Emily is a very lucky little girl. She will treasure these moments as will you and it will enable you to look past the not so pleasant ones...precious. Thanks for sharing. love dad.
That is so awesome! She'll be every teacher's dream, because she reads at home! What a blessing.
I'll have to look up that website. We have a leap frog video that we just got called Letter Factory that teach the letter sounds as well and my kids love it. They are learning all the letter sounds. We haven't tried to tackle actually reading yet.
