Mark it down!

Allison read her first word all by herself today.  We were in the bath playing with letters, and I was arranging them and she was sounding them out.  I laid out "PAT", and she sounded out each letter, but couldn't get to the word.  When I helped her along, she got it.

Then I laid out "TAP", and she said:  "tuh... aaaa...  puh....   TAP!"  Her first unaided read word.

*proud*

I then laid out "BED", and she said very carefully, with her finger underlining each letter:  "buh-nyeah-nah.  Banana!"

Not perfection yet, but a good start.
