This week’s word of the week is learning, Daisy is in her final weeks of nursery and will be starting full-time school in September. She is learning so many new skills to help her on her journey through primary school.
This week she asked Daddy how to spell some words and proceeded to write them down herself on her sketch board. I think the process of learning to write is amazing and Daisy seems to have embraced it full force. She loves phonics and I’m hoping she will love the written word as much as I do.

A reading book has also been a staple feature of our week, I so enjoy listening to her sounding out the words and recognising them, it makes me excited to think of all the books she is yet to read especially the ones I loved as a child. I spent a lot of my childhood with my nose stuck in a book and I think Daisy will too.

I think the best way to teach a child is to make it fun for them to learn and I also believe that every child learns at their own pace, the best thing we can do as parents is to offer our children space and encouragement on their learning journeys and not stress too much about the rest.
I’m linking up with Jocelyn at The Reading Residence for Word of the Week.

It sounds like she’s doing so well! It’s very special to be part of your child learning to read, I adore listening to my daughter, and it’ll soon be my son’s turn, too. Glad Daisy’s enjoying it so much x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
Wow, she is doing well. My son is the same starting school on September and it is amazing the transformation. My son has speech delay so we are working hard to get him to do more as much as we can. He loves nooks to and copy sounds. It is definately doing to he interesting time in the next few months X #wotw
We loved the reading tree books.
Well done on the reading progress; my littlest one is enjoying his phonics and the excitement when he can read his own books is contagious!
