Growing reading skills

Bevan is improving his prereading skills. He spells his own name out loud and can type it and can put it together with alphabet fridge magnets.  He can do the same with the word “lego”, I guess because he really enjoys playing with lego and has had lots of exposure to lego recently as we’ve been buying some and visiting the toy shop.  He recognises a few other words too such as “toy” and “Chaucey” and “no”.

He recognises most letters.  He hasn’t been hand writing them but he does have a new toy which might help him to gain confidence with it, it’s a leap pad scribble and write thingy and letter shapes light up on it for children to trace over with a stylus.

Recently I’ve noticed that Christopher seems to be preferring his left hand for drawing, so I think he may be left-handed and Bevan right-handed.
