Learning Observed

Today Ashvir was reading “The Present”. He opened the book and did not know the first word.  I read with with him, while he pointed to the words,  “This is for a…” Ashvir looked at the picture and saw a clown. He then said, “clown”. We turned the page. Ashvir needed help with the first word again, but then could remember that the rest said “is for a…” He looked at the picture and said “queen”. I said yes he does have long hair, but it is actually a king. “This is for a king”.

Evidence of learning

Ashvir is starting to point to the words as he reads. I wonder if he does this at home?
