Lily's new books

There's no real schedule or curriculum we follow, and each child develop at their own pass and according to their own interests. Lily loves "school work" and such a eager learner. She is always ahead of me and can never get enough of alphabet and maths work.

I never sat down and taught her the alphabet, she basically just picked up all the letters all around us, always asking me what the letters are and taught herself the alphabet in english and afrikaans. I encouraged her the learn it phonetically first and then the "name" of each letter. In the last 2 months she started recognizing small words and said she wanted reading books. We looked at a few different sets and she liked these two and she helped me order it online. I am trying to get her to read Afrikaans well before we go over to English but there's no stopping her and she'll try read anything she sees.

Her books were couriered to her and she signed for it. She loves her books and truly treasure them.

   
Empowering herself with knowledge is her own desire and for this reason she just cant stop or get enough ! She desires knowledge ... battles for it ... and then owns it. Something nobody can ever take away from her. It is so different from being parrot forced fed something you care nothing for. I love seeing her pursue after what she's passionate about and being there only to help when she wants it.
