Meera: Updates

I just wanted to take a moment to note down a couple of things going on with  Meera. With the weekly posts on Misha I realise I hardly ever mention Meera. I guess at her age the progress is very gradual that sometimes we don't realise straight away. During the school holidays I kept her busy doing 'homework' which included colouring, maths, phonics and reading. I realise her maths is really good. I don't know what kids her age can do but I feel like she is really good with numbers. Sometimes I try to incorporate it onto our conversations just to see how much she understands and every once in a while she surprises me. The other day I realised that when faced with a problem like; You need 6 and you already have four. She can tell me we need another 2. And with the math workbooks I got her, she can already add past 10. She can count in her head. I also taught her how to add two 2 digit numbers by putting them on top of each other and adding the ones and tens separately. She catches on quite fast.
On the reading front it's progressing quite slowly. She can almost read all the words from Peter and Jane level 2. And she's quite adept with phonics but English has so many exception that it's hard to work on. I need to be more consistent in this.
