There are a few things Belle likes to do all the time. One of them is typing. Usually it's typing on the computer or Katie's laptop, but this can also include Katie's phone... since it's also basically a computer. This morning Belle wanted to do typing because Katie was working on her laptop. So I had the genius idea to pull out her little kid Vtech laptop thingie that has basic word and number games and a little keyboard. I found the typing game and off she went.
The typing game involved typing the letters to the word that was displayed on the screen and as she was typing the letters she was sounding out the different letters. So the word "DOG" comes up and she pronounces "duh... duh... oh... oh... guh... guh..." and then says, "D-oh-g" and then "dog." We were impressed. Our 3 year old reads. A few words later "ZEBRA" comes up. She looks at it for a second and says: "Oh, that one is zebra." Katie and I just sort of stared at each other with shocked expressions. We figured that one must have been word recognition and not reading but still was a bit freaky.
So, yes. The answer is yes whenever Belle wants to do typing.
Hummmmm. Word recognition ..... reading ..... Seems like the same thing to me ..........
Face it, she's smart and you're in trouble.
