Ella taught herself to read this weekend. Not just some words, it seems she has digested the entire concept and is now employing that concept to read entirely.
Not really sure, she just can. Educators- it's all about the ZPD (zone of proximal development) from Vygotsky right?
She is smart. She likes to outsmart me.
REAL Example conversation from yesterday:
ELLA: Mom, does water melt?
ME: No.
ELLA: Mom, does juice melt?
ME: No.
ELLA: Mom, can you freeze water?
ME: Yes.
ELLA: Mom, can you freeze juice?
ME: Yes.
ELLA: So you can melt water and juice?
ME: Yes. You are right. You can melt water and juice.
ELLA: (giggles)
ME: (giggles) You got me Ella!
