After my dental appointment, I popped over to the bookstore before heading back home. I picked up this (interesting, from my perspective) magnetic book for Nicole. It helps kids who are able to read but refuse to, to practise forming sentences.Nicole was all excited when I showed her the book but not after knowing the purpose of it:(. She just turned her head away :(). To get her interested, I formed a couple of funny sentences for her (The goat drinks tea in the boat). She was laughing away when I read it to her. Thereafter, she was hooked and wanted to play along. I put the respective pieces together and had Nicole rearrange them in the right order to form a correct sentence. She rearranged quite a few sentences on her own. Just to name a few :
*The cat wears a hat *The pig likes to dig
*I can jump
Her interest only lasted for 15minutes before she went on a milk drinking competition against little Ethan :( ). I guess milk drinking is her only expertise, and hobby too!
