by This is something that I didn’t realize until recently when I friend of mine posted THE cutest video of her 20 month old identifying words on index cards – mom, dad, anna, yes, no, ball and baby. Crazy!
My understanding is that it ties directly with visual learning. And again this is still an individual trait, but there are studies that show its a more prevalent skill in children with Down syndrome.
I know sight words are a thing. Averie had sight words in her early education too, but since AJ knows his letter sounds we had been focusing on sounding words out instead of memorizing them. Hoping that even though he can’t make the letter sounds himself (yet!), that he could still “hear” them in his head.
Guess who is going to get some index cards with simple words on them this week?
