This appears to be advanced development and the child is doing great. I would utilize facial expressions to demonstrate excitement and words of encouragement as much as possible. New ways to demonstrate additional vocabulary into this child's life would be an added bonus.

Amanda Harris

11/28/2018 01:35:26 pm

I like how you mentioned facial expressions and how they can help the child continue to grow and learn in that area.

if a 3 year old is this advance in learning keep showing them more learning Technics

M. Lizzette

That will be wonderful! I will recognize the student success and encourage him/her to learn a new word each day!

Susan Stehr

This child is ahead of the developmental continuum. Children at this age are recognizing their first names and the sound each letter makes . At 3 years reading is more in picture books memorizing what the book is about and having the book read to them. I would praise the child and start asking him about the sounds of the letters in the sight words.

The three year old is a bit ahead of his/her age group and i would make sure to give meaningful encouragement. Also id make sure to continue practice with them and quite often. Make sure parents know so they can maybe continue the practice of those words in the home and more.

Alexis

yes

Monica Correa

11/6/2018 07:25:31 pm

Thats a good time for three year olds to be able to say those words, I would encourage them to keep talking and say everything they see to jeep expanding their vocabulary. I would praise them for every time they say a new word because it shows them they are doing something good.

Leilanie

11/6/2018 09:06:11 pm

At his age he might consider as a genius or gifted child and this is so amazing

Morgan link

11/7/2018 01:02:12 pm

This is amazing and very good for a 3 year old. I would praise them and continue to keep going

Mollie Hinshaw-Rasmussen

11/7/2018 05:00:29 pm

The child is above average on the development scale. Children at the age of four aren't expected to be able to read sight words. Children who fall under the "normal" range for development are able to jump in place, can retell their favorite story, love playing pretend.

Lucica Endo

11/7/2018 09:57:07 pm

That is above the normal range for this age. I would praise the child and give him more challenges.

Janine Jimerson

11/8/2018 12:35:45 pm

A three year old already at that stage in learning is amazing and the child should be praised for doing so well and continue to support them and give them the tools to continue and see what works best for them

Leotina Shindano

11/8/2018 07:59:20 pm

This child is definitely ahead of early childhood development. I would definitely read with he/her and really focus on phonics. I would also of course notify their parents so that much practice is also achieved at home. I would encourage the child and tell them how great they are doing.

Cinthya viguerias

11/8/2018 09:39:28 pm

i would of course report to the parents that the child is advanced in his reading, I would encourage the child to keep reading at home and of course with positive reinforcement challenge the child at school wit higher level books to keep his skills and develop them over time.

Padmaja Kondeti

11/9/2018 05:13:49 pm

I appreciate a 3 year old is learning small words, we need to encourage them and offer them new books and teach them more new words which help them to learn more faster.

Stephanie Garcia

11/10/2018 10:04:31 am

At this age, this is great for the child to be learning at a faster pace than most 3 year olds. I would definitely continue practicing with them, so they don't forget and maybe foster some activities to further her skill.

Piyawan Nakhongmuang

11/10/2018 11:56:51 am

At this age to be able to read a simple sight words is amazing. I will definitely support the child and family to continue reading.

Christine Zaugg

11/10/2018 07:46:13 pm

I have sight words on our wall and every day we read the word and what it means . The kids love it and get them correct most of the time.

Gretchen

11/11/2018 01:20:31 pm

This type of development is not typical for this age range. I would encourage the child to read to me while also documenting what I observed. Over time I would continue my observations and continue to encourage and support. I would also discuss possible tools to introduce to the child for further development, not only to my supervisor but to the parents as well.

maariyana marble

11/11/2018 04:49:28 pm

This 3 year old is cursing and above average for for reading at this age and development. It's great that kids to stand above their normal development but they need to be assessed to see if this is actual learning or memorization as it may put a damper in developing on the skill.

Daneka

11/11/2018 07:53:08 pm

This child is ahead of development but this skills must be supported in order to save this skill and be prepared for reading. Yet it probably could be not actual reading but just recognition of know symbols and it would be good to check how this child familiar with all other letters of alphabet

Jennifer Martinez

11/11/2018 08:13:13 pm

At three years of age, it is above average to already know these words. Although great, it is critical that the child is being supported and encouraged to learn more to sustain this learning. For instance, reading a book over and over to a child, is helpful but may be tricky on whether or not the child is memorizing or learning. It leads me to think that is would be critical to check with whether the child recognizes the words or has just memorized them.

Brianda Kukulka Heredia

11/13/2018 03:47:27 pm

I would continue to encourage the parents to working with their child. This child is ahead on development and can only build to what he/she already knows. I would encourage their parents to introduce wooden puzzles with words and matching the pictures to each piece. I would also give suggestions as to what we are doing in class and give a copy of the lesson plan in case parents want to work at home with their child on what we are doing at the center.

Anita Utheim

11/14/2018 10:49:48 am

This 3 year old is a head of the curve. The best way to support this child would be to continue to teach sight words as they seem appropriate. It would also be good to add the sounds the letter make as you are reading these words, so you are adding a new skill.

Amy Sommerlatte

11/14/2018 03:48:37 pm

For a 3 year old to be reading is amazing. Even leaning letters at this age is hard. I would keep them on this path because obviously its something that excites them. There is always room for improvement and learning new things.

Laura Jakobsen

11/14/2018 07:03:49 pm

This child is developmentally in a very good place. I would continue to go over other easy words with them, get them to read small books with oversized short words. I would encourage the child to read as much as possible.

Laura Arguello

11/25/2018 10:02:29 pm

I agree, I would use encouragement and praising with the child and closely observe them. Keeping track of their progress and reporting everything to their parents to keep them involved.

Nalika Virachi

11/14/2018 10:14:52 pm

The child is developmentally well above the continuum, children at this age are learning to recognize their first names and to recognize letters and connect them to sound. With books they mostly rely on pictures to retell or understand the story. I would continue working on these words with the child and challenge them with new sounds and words, along with books.

fateme hosseini nejad

11/14/2018 11:49:05 pm

At 3 years reading is more in picture books memorizing what the book is about and having the book read to them.At three years of age, it is above average to already know these words.I would encourage the child and tell them how great they are doing.

Kathleen Enlow

11/16/2018 01:17:09 am

The 3 year old seems to be ahead developmentally, I would keep encouraging the child for what they are learning and continue that child's education by helping them learn more sight words.

siara

11/16/2018 11:46:26 am

the 3 year old would be ahead in there development and encourage the child with each thing there learning. and help them learn key words to help them better understand the book.

Lucy

11/16/2018 01:06:18 pm

This child appears to well within and possibly ahead of their developmental range in this scenario. I would suggest encouraging the child to keep reading books, having adults in the child's life read to the child and engage the child in reading time, and eventually integrate more challenging books for the brain to make more connections.

Emily Repp

11/17/2018 10:30:56 pm

The child is ahead in development which is amazing!

Ashley

11/18/2018 02:00:43 am

This child appears to be ahead of the development curve. I would encourage this child to continue with their interest in reading by providing many books and some more challenging books as well. I would also make sure to spend extra time reading aloud to this child as well.

Aliah

11/18/2018 11:32:41 am

This child seems to be slightly ahead in development, which is wonderful. I would introduce many simple books with words the child is verbally familiar with, and expand upon that. Reading out aloud, and allowing the child to continue making connections is a wonderful idea.

Rachel Patrzeba

11/18/2018 08:55:43 pm

This 3 yrs old is a little ahead than his or her other peers. Usually 3 yrs olds can flip the pages, and look at the picture and tell you what it is. They can explain the story but they can not read words yet. They can clap syllables but not read.

mariya

11/18/2018 11:21:18 pm

encourage the child, watch out for falls

Samantha G

11/19/2018 04:23:19 pm

At three years old that is a head of the development, to continue this growth I would make a plan with the parents to start working on other words at home. I also wanna make sure the child is recognizing words and not just memorized them so I would want to start working on rhyming words and the sounds of letters with them.

FARNAZ HAMID

11/19/2018 09:04:45 pm

I think this task is a little bit difficult for three years child.First I introduce the sounds of letters/phonics than come to the two or three letter words.

Brittany McDaniel

11/19/2018 09:44:01 pm

I would be completely excited for this child! I would be able to see that this child is on on the advanced continuum and really give praise for this and continue to work with them. And make sure to address parents with the success

Brooke McKay

11/20/2018 12:00:18 am

This is actually advanced continuum for a child their age. I would praise the child and talk with the family about how well their doing. Most children at this age are unable to read and are learning about the alphabet and how to spell their name. This child is above typical development

Abdul

11/20/2018 11:16:16 am

At this age to be able to read a simple sight words is amazing good team work. I will definitely support the child and family to continue reading.

Abbey

11/21/2018 04:50:46 pm

The child is advanced in their development at this age, and this learning needs to be supported further in order for it to continue to build. I would observe my findings, communicate them to parents, and work together with the family to create a plan to support this child in their progress.

Yeimi

11/22/2018 12:02:04 am

The child is doing wonderfully and is advanced fo their age group. The deffinatly deserve praise and a bit more challenges to help further their learning.

jessica

11/22/2018 10:51:06 am

the child is doing a great job and is davance for their age group

Brittany

11/23/2018 09:38:05 am

They are advancing and having knowledge of words and letters at this age is amazing. Definitely observe them and see how far they can do. Praise them and the parents. Continue to work with them through letters, numbers and reading small stories together.

Remya Benedict

11/23/2018 08:06:20 pm

This child is ahead of the developmental continuum. I would encourage him to practice more with small words that includes the picture of each to make sure that the child is understanding what he is reading and slowly introduce the sight words along. Let the parents know that the child is ahead in the development to make sure that he is getting enough support from parents as well as the teachers.

Hannah Tucker

11/24/2018 12:18:52 pm

Reading at that young of an age is atypical and something to be celebrated. Encourage the student and primary caregivers to foster this talent by incorporating activities that increase positive development of the skill.

Marwa Shaheen

11/26/2018 08:31:40 am

The child is very advanced in his reading. I would let the parents know and continue encouraging the child to read more books and challenge them with more words

rosanne lee

11/26/2018 10:22:24 am

The child is advanced for his age. I would add new vocabulary and/or begin introducing two syllable words.

11/27/2018 07:25:35 pm

This child is well ahead in development.

Adiara Diabate

11/27/2018 08:47:41 pm

I would think that this child is advanced in terms of his or development. I might provide his or more opportunities to recognize easy words through activities and see if the child recognizes them at a later date. I would tell parents what is happening so I can provide appropriate learning materials to them.

Erin Alvord

11/27/2018 09:54:07 pm

I would say that The child is quite advanced in their development I would try and find material with easy word that the child could read and learn from.

Britny Derton

11/27/2018 10:03:10 pm

I would think that the child seems to be advanced for their development. I would encourage them to continue learning their words and I would find some more books and material for them.

Amanda Harris

11/28/2018 01:39:23 pm

In this scenario, the child is ahead of typical child development. There are very very few children that can read even a few words at the age of three. Thus, it would be important to ensure that the child has work that is harder than his peers so that he keeps developing and doesn't just get put in the flow of the rest of the children. Encouraging him to learn more words and read easy books that has simple words he knows and then introducing new words every so often would help this child to continue his developing.

kendra tomlin

11/28/2018 05:17:34 pm

this child is ahead on the learning continuum and I would encourage them to continue finding words they recognize and know. I would try and find some books or games that encourage them to continue in their reading acquisition.

nicole

11/28/2018 08:04:43 pm

at his age he is a genius gifted child

Nicole Marie Zimmerer

11/29/2018 03:42:25 pm

I would greatly encourage the child. I could also show them pictures of the words they read as well as ask them questions to make their leaning more comprehensive (such as what sound does a cat make, what do you like to do with your mom, etc.).

kalynn

11/29/2018 07:40:47 pm

This child is advanced for his or her age, but definitely needs encouragement and may like to be challenged.

Carol Noe

12/1/2018 12:33:28 pm

The child is clearly advanced in reading. at this age, they should be able to identify a handful of letters and be able to write their name. The sight words that they know are a bit advanced for their age and perhaps they like tp be challenged. I would encourage this but not make it the sole focus of what i do with this child.

Melissa

12/1/2018 04:11:30 pm

I would encourage this child to look at other books and continue with the same books they have been reading

Kenneth

12/2/2018 12:05:52 pm

The child is definitely ahead in its development. Those words should be reinforced with praise, and should also more words to guide the child to form a sentence

Elizabeth Mahoney

12/4/2018 09:18:52 am

A child at 3 already being able to read simple words is for sure ahead in their development. To continue with this development I would give parents appropriate books that will help him continue. I would also put books and posters in my classroom that could help him continue to read.

Marilyn Kriger

12/4/2018 09:39:11 am

Seeing that the child is developing and learning to read I would encourage the child to keep going. I would also introduce more words for that child to learn.

Genesis kelley

12/5/2018 07:44:18 pm

Children at this age are usually only reading pictures and are able to convey what they are. Being able to read even a few sight words is pretty intelligent for a 3 year old. I would say this child is ahead of the milestone stage. This is a great opportunity to continue practicing with this child with books and activities.

Ami McGaughan

12/6/2018 03:43:41 pm

I would talk to the parents about how advanced there child is and maybe work with the child on some other words and find activities for them to do that include reading

Caitlin

12/8/2018 03:06:57 pm

This child is advanced and should be worked with to nurture this gift. They should be encouraged to read at home with a parent.

Alyssa Jo Rivera

12/9/2018 12:55:31 pm

Letter recognition at three to four years of age is expected for most children, so a child recognizing and reading these letters in succession is very impressive. I personally would first show the child other words using the same letters to assure memorization is not taking place, as that can slow literary development. If it is not and the child is truly reading these words, I would find similar reading material that piques the childs interest and challenges them. I would also recommend the childs parents do the same and encourage their child.

Ryan

12/9/2018 05:29:18 pm

Since the child is way ahead of the curve, I would encourage them to continue learning new words, and maybe ask them during group activities to read aloud words I know they can pronounce, so other children can see how that word is pronounced while it's being read.

Andrea Kornfeind

12/9/2018 09:00:32 pm

Child is above the developmental standard. I would provide easy reader books and inividulized activities to promote their reading.

cassandra l guenther

12/10/2018 09:44:22 pm

This child is doing amazing with already being able to read site words. you need to foster this and praise them and also get them to start reading more and more by spending time with them and with books that have more and similar words to grow their vocab and sight words

Sheryl Johnson

12/10/2018 09:47:00 pm

I would believe this child to be advanced for their stage of development. I would immediately begin to research beginning reader books to encourage this child to continue on this path.

Alaethia

12/11/2018 11:53:17 am

This is amazing! I would encourage further engagement with other words by picking more complex books and pointing out those words along with other ones. I would also want to use picture flashcards to increase the number of site words the child engages with. Encouragement is so vital to this stage of reading. If a child feels they are failing they can quickly give up.

Kaylin Hong

12/11/2018 07:58:38 pm

This is advanced for his/her age.

I believe that I would show the kid more simple words for him to learn, Cow etc. But I wouldn't force the child to learn faster than he already is. Other than showing him words and introducing him to more vocabulary. I would go slow as to not make this seem like a forced activity that he might end up not liking because he is only focusing on that. Constant praise helps but I would still have him experiment with other things as well.

Annie Li

12/12/2018 09:44:28 pm

Keep adding vocabulary to expand child's sight words.

Sydney Vahl

12/14/2018 08:46:30 am

I would say this child is at or above expectation and the family and teachers could continue providing books and new words.

Jessica Rodriguez-Diaz

12/16/2018 01:17:19 pm

The child seems to have advanced above their developmental milestones, compared to most peers who would be identifying pictures. I would encourage the child by showing them letters in different order and giving them "advanced" books. I would let parents know about their advanced development as well, to continue their learning at home.

Stephanie Rogerson

12/16/2018 06:57:14 pm

Having a 3 year know such words is an amazing accomplishment and should be acknowledged. This shows advancement in development.

Ana Maslovaric

12/16/2018 09:47:53 pm

I would praise the child for that and let the parents know. Further I would make sure to point with a finger at the word while reading, so if the child is interested in learning more he/she may follow. If there is more interest I would make sure to provide new interesting books we may read at the class, making sure in the same time that other kids don't feel they are missing something, because they cannot read.

Naomi Summer

12/17/2018 12:53:40 am

This is great that the child is learning to read. Kids this age are much more capable than many people give them credit for. I would definitely encourage the child and continue working with them to learn more and foster their love of reading and of learning.

meredith davey

12/17/2018 08:13:04 am

I'd set aside time for a teacher and this child, with other high reading achievers, to spend time practicing their reading skills and building on it with other simple words. I'd also read more with the whole class because kids pull each other up and seeing another child reading before they can might help give a non-reader motivation to learn.

Hayley Aman

12/17/2018 07:52:20 pm

the childis advanced in the developmental continuum. To keep him interested and progressing provide more books with new words and once he learns those keep proving more

Zoe V

12/18/2018 09:27:12 pm

This child is ahead of development. I would work alongside this child to keep them interested and challenge them so that they continue On this path. Communication with parents is key as well, so that they encourage growth as well. I would allow them to share these strengths as it might encourage and foster love in reading in other kids.

Jodie

12/19/2018 09:08:56 pm

This child is advanced in their reading abilities. Most children at this age are still learning to recognize all the letters and what sounds they make.

Jordan Thompson link

12/20/2018 08:45:21 pm

The three year old seems to slightly ahead of their average for that age group. i would make sure to give meaningful encouragement as wells to make sure to continue practicing with them on a regular basis. Make sure parents know so they can continue the practice of those words in the home.

Lusine,Simonyan

12/21/2018 10:25:27 pm

the child should be praised and continued to support him and give him and would help everyone that she could continue and see what is best for them.

mounika balasani

12/23/2018 01:58:36 pm

Reading site words at the age 3 is really a advance skill. The Child should be encouraged by providing more interesting books to keep the momentum going.

Angelica

12/24/2018 06:12:47 pm

The child is advanced in their development I would give the child encouragement and us face expressions

Christopher Causey

12/26/2018 09:53:24 am

I would say this child is advanced for their age. Normally, a child can look at pictures and retell stories from said pictures but to be able to read words is a little advanced for a 3 year old.

Ye Tao

12/27/2018 11:52:32 am

It's very impressive for a 3-year-old child to read these words, and he is a little bit ahead among his peers. I will give him a lot credit and read more books to keep his motivation going.

Anna Bychkova

12/27/2018 02:23:30 pm

Three year olds are typically able to recognize their name by its shape, but most are just beginning to connect letters with their sounds and cannot sight read. Because this child is developing quickly in this area, I would make sure to present more challenging language works to them. I would be careful not to put extra pressure on this child to perform just because they are showing aptitude, and let their learning be self-driven. Most young children have trouble sustaining a long work cycle, so I might suggest works that involve movement, such as reading words like "Pat," "Run," and "Hop," and acting them out. I would also encourage that child to work with and help friends their age, putting their knowledge to the test while building excitement about reading in the classroom.

Abigail Pak

12/27/2018 11:58:45 pm

For a 3-year-old child to be able to read any words, be it simple words like mom or not, in a book is incredibly advanced for that age. This child is developing beyond the typical developmental continuum for their age. Most 3-year-olds can say words like mom, however, they would not be able to read the letters in a book and know that those letters spell out the word mom.

karissa johnson

12/29/2018 06:53:37 pm

If a 3 year old can read words such as mom, dad, car, dog i would be thoroughly impressed.

brkti mihtsintu

12/29/2018 09:04:43 pm

That is great, because that's the time they get to be familiar with the words.

Reese

12/30/2018 01:43:25 am

A 3 year old who recognizes words such as 'dad,' 'mom,''dog,''cat,' are slightly advanced in their development. The earlier a student recognizes sight words the more practice they will have and the more familiar and proficient they will be in literacy.

janae leptich

12/30/2018 04:26:19 pm

if a child the age of 3 is this advance in learning i would start adding in more similar words to further the childs learning and developing

Willow

12/30/2018 05:19:52 pm

The 3 year old is advanced for their age group which is awesome, so i would continue to introduce more words and continue with their growth so they continue to learn instead of getting bored

Shannon Menjivar-Bates

12/30/2018 09:51:35 pm

The child is has very good focus and is ahead of development. Id use lot's of encouragement to introduce other words but not need to because they are at a good stage.

Liliana Perez

12/31/2018 10:23:00 pm

If a child can read at 3 years of age they have reached a developmental milestone ahead of their time and you should keep working on it with them so they can retain that skill
