This post is for the grandparents. Rachel is loving her reading lessons! We are about halfway through the book. Rachel is anxious for Audrey to be put down for a nap each day so that we can start her reading lessons. Anyhow, here's a somewhat long video that I took today, but one the grandparents should enjoy. This was the first time Rachel read through this passage and it was the longest passage she has read yet...
As we have been going through these reading lessons I have been reminded of what a messed up language English is. We all get over the little rules and words that are different, because we've been reading them for years. And we don't remember what it was like to learn to read. But it's kind of odd that we don't spell is "iz" or was "wuz". Because really that would make more sense. This book I'm going through with Rachel is very scripted and quite often I'm having her sound out a word and then telling her how to really say it, followed by the sentence, "It's a silly word." Anyhow, we certainly have a lot of silly words in English and it really makes one wonder who it was long ago that decided we would spell and say things the way we do...
