My Little Artist


Spencer has really taken off with his coloring and drawing and writing letters. Usually when my children turn 4, I start a reading program with them that teaches them all their letters and sounds and how to write them. I stared the program with Spencer because he was asking to spell words, writing his name every where, and seemed really interested in learning to read. I was a little hesitant because everyone told me boys were much harder and not ready as early as girls, but that was proving wrong because of the interest SPencer was showing. So, we started the lessons, Spencer has done really well, and then I decided to stop at about lesson 15. He was getting it, getting a little frustrated because it wasn't what he wanted to be doing. And we have plenty of time to restart later. But look at the creations he has been making since we started. All my children seem to really take off with the art as soon as we start the reading lesson becuase it teaches them to write their letters, such as "s" and "e", which are pretty difficult to write for a new beginner. Once they have that coordination down, the whole world of drawing opens up and this is the results I get. I love their creations and Spencer's are so unique.
