Rainer is way into writing and drawing now. Suddenly.
Today, with just a hint for the 'i' he spelled and wrote his name. To her credit, while I was writing hand over hand with Georgia, she spelled G-E-O in her name all on her own. I had NO idea she could recite it out without looking. When I asked her what her name starts with she just said it. (And she got distracted at "o" by something Rainer was doing, so for all I know she knows how to spell her whole name.)
See his extra flag on his 'e'? How cute it that?
I have to admit, I was impressed. And yes, I suppose I am bragging. But mainly because I am sort of like "wha-? Really?"
And honestly, it's all because of The TV Teacher. I saw a presentation on video modeling by the people who run this company at the convention in Texas this summer and I was enthralled. I really think this is going to be the KEY to teaching Georgia a LOT of stuff. Not, by a long shot, "just" writing.
Apparently, Rainer, too. Although we only purchased the shapes video (which teaches how to draw basic shapes), he saw this video on youtube and between that video and the shapes one he taught himself his own way to write. For instance, the letter "r" is written as he says "Circle it around, draw a stick and another stick."
Funny monkey.
Check it (and definitely video modeling) out!
