Letter Milestones

The boys are all starting to do really well with writing their letters. Wyatt is already doing some reading, but Jonah and Sam are really coming along with knowing and being able to write all of their letters too.

Jonah recognizes all of his letters and numbers and can write all but 5 of his letters by memory. Sam recognizes a lot of his letters and can write many of them. He can look at any letter and write it without help, but there are only a handful that he can write by memory.


I am so thrilled though, because Sam has come such a long way since Christmas in terms of improving academically. He is gaining confidence every day! I am not sure that he will ever catch up to Jonah, who is rapidly catching up to Wyatt, but Sam is doing so well.

One game that we started playing seems to have really helped Jonah and Sam. We all use a magna doodle and everybody takes turns naming a letter and then we all have to write it. It is so funny because Shane even sits there with his baby magna doodle and pretends to write letters, hold it up, clap for himself and then erase it when we move on to the next letter.

One of my greatest joys as a parent is watching Wyatt learn to read. I can't wait until it all clicks for Jonah and Sam too. Shane's next milestone.....potty training!
