it is still hard to get video of ozzy reading, but i was able to sneak this one in last night. i was working on the iPad while he was reading out loud to me, and discretely switched it to camera and recorded him. i think he gets embarrassed because there are words he doesnt know and he doesnt like me to record him when he cant do it all perfectly. if i ask him first if i can record him reading, he whines that he doesnt know how to read and refuses to even try.
he's still working on 'level 1' type readers. repetitive words/structure, lots of picture support, one or two lines of text. he will read 1 or 2 books for me each night if i promise to read him a story or two. i think that's a pretty fair exchange. ;)
he's also starting to do some writing practice. he can write his name, but his Y looks like a football goal post. lol. he can make a P, D, O, Z, Y, I, C, F, G, L, Q, T, V, X, a, b, d by himself. he loves to do mazes, which is great b/c it gets him holding pencils/markers/crayons, following a line, and strengthens his hand muscles. i am trying to get him to do a little coloring every night before bed as well to try to get those hand muscles strong and ready for writing.
