P-O-P

As we were driving to Canada this past weekend, Samuel pipes up from the backseat, "Hey Mom! Do you spell "pop", P-O-P?" :)

I asked him if he saw it on a sign somewhere, but he said no, he just thought about it in his head.  And then he proceeded to sound the word out for me to show me how he figured out how it was spelled. 

Homeschooling has been going great this year but if there is any area we are struggling with, it is reading. I can see the wheels turning and progress being made, but this was a huge encouragement to me that he really is getting it!
