I had all the items in a large garbage bag and was embarrassed when I saw neat assignments coming in like banded recipe cards. The instructor teased had I brought in my garbage so I wasn't feeling good about m work. My idea was that children have to learn sounds in their environment before they learn sounds of letters and words to read. Well, class came and the teacher said she had someone to present. She handed me my bag and A+ assignment! She said there were studies about exactly that. I was proud and thought of the idea for parents struggling to help their own children learn to read.<br />One other thought was recently I heard the study that babies mimic<br />their parents speech patterns to better communicate their crying. Different countries/areas have babies crying in different rhythms/patterns. Not surprising but interesting to think about. Mothers all know their own baby's cry maybe that's why.Luomafamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068476596681252615noreply@blogger.com
