Me and mike reckon she's trying to prove us wrong cos when she asked a few weeks ago we said to her that she was probably a bit little to have to worry about that and that when she was big like paris then we'd start teaching her - cos we don't want to push her into doing stuff like that. but she's obviously just taken an interest and has been listening to me and paris more than i thought.]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:29:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16759&PID=369820&title=the-clever-little-chook#369820 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16759&PID=369763&title=the-clever-little-chook#369763 Author: nikkitheknitter

Clever chook! I now some kids can do it this early. I visited a friends twin girls when they were only three and they could pretty much read!!! They new their alphabet, what sounds letters made and what words start with those sounds etc. WE played word bingo with them. I was amazed.

Sounds like you are going to have a handful with that little one...but you knew that anyway ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:25:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16759&PID=369143&title=the-clever-little-chook#369143 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16759&PID=369124&title=the-clever-little-chook#369124 Author: aimeejoy

Paris has been learning writing and reading for a few months now, and we have been teaching her how to correclty form letters and have been learning about capitals and lower case etc.. she's doing pretty good really.

In all this Ayja has decided that she too would like to learn. We aren't teaching her as such, but she tends to sit and watch when we do things with paris, and have a wee go herself, scribling on paper etc.

The other day paris was asking how to spell various family members names, to which i just spelt them out because i was doing dinner. Ayja then got a piece of paper that she was already drawing on and came and asked me to teach her her name. So i wrote it down and said see if she could copy it not really expecting her to do so. She went off, climbed up the breakfast bar and looked busy so i left her to it.

She came and showed me afterwards and this is what she'd done! (you can see my light reddy-pink writing in the bottom left hand corner - all the rest is her!)

I was so proud, i stuck it to my mirror in my bedroom to which she went nuts at me cos i put celotape on her writing. She waited till ileft the room, climbed up got it and gave it to mike because "he would not put celotape on it, he'll be good with it" I had to wait till she went to bed and sneak it into my room and stash it with her special stuff.


Add to that she is now "practising" her A's all the time and trying to write her name on the pictures she does at daycare. She had her mega sketcher out this morning and said to me "how do you spell janine?" I spelt it out while doing paris's hair. She turns the sketcher around and i see she has written
" jnin" she'd missed a few letters but still great. she went to show mike and said "now i'll do your name dad" and he said ok, dad is spelt D-A-D, to which she proceeded to write it perfectly, then she did "mum" after that.

She has totally surprised the heck outta me, i knew she was interested but for little miss nearly-three to come out and be doing this without any teaching of letter formation directed at her (ie, no guiding hands or anything) it has soooo blown us both away!!
