Cassi is SO Smart...

Again, more from Thursday night. Lots of stuff about Cassi. Thursday, when we were coming home, we drove past a few restaurants. And, just like the golden arches, someone would recognize a restaurant based on it's logo. But, this isn't the case typically for Cassi. We drove past a Denny's restaurant. Not a typical restaurant of choice, so Cassi doesn't recognize the logo, like she would Burger King or McDonald's.

But, the next thing we hear is Cassi saying, "Danny's." Not realizing what she's done, we ask her what she's talking about. She says, "Look. Danny's."

Oh. Cassi was using her sound-out skills to try to figure out what was written on the logo.

"Very good. Close. Actually, Denny's. E, eh. But, VERY GOOD. Did you sound out your letters?"

"Yes."

So, Cassi is using her skills from school to figure out words on her own. This is a big step for her regarding her learning disability, trying to get her to figure out words by herself.

Thought this would be a good share.

Love to all,
Cathy

That's great! I use to read everything when I was a kid. Street signs, store signs, stop signs. You get the idea. LOL
