[QUOTE="Malika, post: 502860, member: 11227"] Well, he hasn't even got that far in terms of "decoding" yet. He will sometimes say to me, spontaneously - oh look that pattern on the ground is like a "J" or a circular object is like an "O" - but other than that he doesn't spot letters around the place and I haven't been bringing it up myself. I just read him lots and lots of stories :) Interesting, today I was talking to a Canadian friend about all this and she was saying some non-Canadian friends of hers think that there's too much stress and pressure in the north American system and it shouldn't be pushed as it (apparently?) is. I guess I just feel it should come from the child. I'm in no hurry, I think it will come when he is ready. At the same time he is probably "behind" the girls in his class. As he riding some of his letters on his bike this lunchtime, one of his classmates who lives near us was there and I asked her if she knew all the letters of the alphabet (just interested :)) "Oh yes," she said, as if that were all old hat now for her... Whereas J just knows the letters in his name and a few others. [/QUOTE]
