I have a talent for teaching skills in the wrong order. I noticed that Glitter sometimes has a hard time telling who's who in stories. So, I read her a picture book and at the end of the page I had her name the characters in the picture. She stared at the picture for a while and couldn't figure out who it was. Then she started searching the text, hoping to find the elusive name there!
Normally emerging readers look at the pictures for clues to help decode the words. Glitter was doing the opposite. She was looking for a clue in the words to figure out the picture. How crazy is that?
