ok so DS1 has just started reception and came home with his first 'story' book yesterday ("I like rice"). Each page starts with "I like rice with" and then there's a picture on the opposite page of what they like with it - to help them work out the last word.
Today he's been "reading" it on his own again. However, I have a very strong suspicion that he's not actually 'reading' the words (although he does point at each one as he says it) - rather that he's just memorised the book.
Is this normal, and how do I encourage him to actually 'learn' the words rather than remembering the entire book????
(I just wish I had his memory skills LOL)
