Amelia's reading

I should have written about this earlier. When Amelia started school in September she could just about recognise the letters A m e l i a as she knew her name. She has since learnt the alphabet and ridiculously quickly learned to blend the sounds together. by Christmas she could read anything that sounded as it could be read phonetically, i.e hat, dad, car.
Now though she is learning to blend and recognize sounds together, like 'th', 'ch', 'st' etc. She can recognize several words and does not need to sound them out and tonight worked out the words 'morning' and 'market,.
I am so so proud. However, she likes to read wearing as little as possible, writhing all over the place with ants in her pants. She also likes to get her face incredibly close to the page, although she does not appear to have any eyesight problems, and starts every line with ... 'So....'

She clearly is not going to struggle in the reading department, I knwo she is bright but I did not think it would be this quick!!!
