This little boy is jumping around most of our lessons and he runs his own schedule and often gets a good scolding from mommy...but boy, can this little boy read. I can only conclude that he has a natural infinity towards languages. Just yesterday, he was peering over someone's shoulders as the person was reading the papers and he read, " Special School for D.... kids planned". Everything was pristinely pronounced. Except for the "D" word - Dyslexia. If he could read that, I think I would just about flip backwards twice over. That's our Sammy - a special boy in his own right.
He would easily put my secondary students to shame [to any ex students who are reading this] because he almost always pronounces his consonants 'd' and 't' and 'k'. And it is quite fascinating to hear each word so well pronounced by a three year old without any nagging.
Just today at the pool, he saw the word and said 'GYM" and he went on to read the rest of the directory.
I think for Sammy, its perhaps time for us to proceed to spelling and more advanced reading. This boy has got mommy's genes:)) Haha...right, Daddy?

Hi Mrs Tan,
Guess who read this and is amused at Samuel's command of the language, and put to shame! Haha, undoubtedly the son of an English teacher!
