Rian has been going to Champion School since Jan 2011. The main reason to select this school was their claim that they can get 3-year old children to read. Before Rian went to school at 2 and a half years, he had his A to Z and his 1 to 10 down pat already, so we thought this is a good school fit for Rian with his natural inclination towards reading and books.
Sure enough by his third birthday Rian knew the phonics for all alphabets and was reading single vowel words. The school has encouraged and moved Rian (along with other kids) to higher level for reading. At 4 years and 3 months, Rian reads a lot, flawlessly. We encourage him a lot at home and read every day with him, and extra reading on weekends. He loves it and keeps asking for more and more.
Every 4 weeks we get a different set of books from the library. Every library trip Rian decides which books he's done with and okay to return, and which ones he wants me to keep and renew. I just love this interaction with him about books and library and his curiosity for new things. Big thanks once again to Daddy for fueling his curiosity - else Rian's natural selection is always just train books :D
Here's a page from a level 4 book about Submarines that Rian read without hesitation. This is grade 1-2 reading by school standards.
His favorite Mausami aunty picked a kite gift for him and Rian read all the assembly instructions himself. Here's a video on youtube.
May you keep this love for reading always...

Wow! That's super cool stuff Rian is reading!! Impressive that at such a young age, he can read such big words flawlessly! Kudos to you and the lil one!! :)
ReplyDeleteReading is one habit, which should be inculcated in each child right from the very beginning!! It opens up a big new world for them!!
Thanks Shilpa for your kind words, and welcome to my blog! My memory fails me - have we met/communicated before?
