very odd
she started reception 3 weeks ago, 2hrs a day

I went to a talk on reading today at the school and they told us they had done certain words over the past 2 weeks (mum, is, floppy, look and one other can't remember)

So I thought I would test her tonight at supper time to see what she had remembered. I have never taught her to read as I (as PFB) was taught to read aged 2 and could read novels by the time I started reception, as a result I was put up a year and teased mercilessley for being able to read and write even then! Though she was interested in letters and we read lots of book I had never sat her down and actually done spelling

So i stared with look, Mum is floppy

fine
she did

Then I tried other things just for fun

She could read perfectly

My dog looks like a pig
do you like my floppy red hat (actually she said lick not like)
Mummy has a red hat to put on the dog

and all sort of others

Then I asked her to write my dog looks like a pig and she did perfectly

Do you think she has secretly been doing it behind my back or something??????

I am a coward. Actually I think we know someone in common - Mrs Tweedy? Though you do feel a bit of a plonker saying to someone "Do you know Countess Dracula?"

Remind me of your e-mail! I'm not sure which thread it was on....
