I was sad to find out that one of my students, who has been with our class since he was a tiny baby, will not be coming back due to scheduling conflicts. But it was a good last day together as he "read" to me from Good Night, Gorilla. He doesn't even have an inteligible vocabulary yet, but knows how to flip through a book, and gurgles word like sounds out at each page, smiling as he goes along. This is what our class is all about. Tomás is barely walking, but he really can "read". Interpreting the pictures is just as much a part of reading as decoding the printed word. It was highly satisfying to see the fruit of my labor manifested in this little one today.
