Both my grandsons learned to read before school...because my daughter read to the every day. Mem Fox (author of Possum Magic and others and an expert on children's literacy) say you should aim to read 5000 books to a child before they go to school. It doesn't even have to be 5000 different books...5000 readings of books. <br /><br />It is also wonderful that your little fella will have both Korean and English. <br /><br />What a joy grandchildren are!Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577208643431414375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-83132438449355749782011-08-14T19:58:48.652+10:002011-08-14T19:58:48.652+10:00Hi Rhonda

Her Aussie father and Chinese mother both speak to her in their own languages AND they live in Spain where she will soon be going to daycare for half days and will be exposed to the local language.Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747146605520336984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-32157126184757949822011-08-14T15:02:30.696+10:002011-08-14T15:02:30.696+10:00Such an adorable picture.

I have a similar photo of me reading a big study book and Munchkin 'reading' along at probably around the same age as Jamie. <br /><br />On my mind at present are the joys of exploration. I am just loving being able to watch my son explore his world!
