I would be excited that he is doing so well, then continue to give him different books and materials to help his development in that area. At the same time I would be sure that any curriculum that we do would be enough to challenge him and encourage his learning in that area.

The child is advanced in their milestones. I would encourage the family and child to continue the good work. I would also suggest that this child may be gifted and provide the parents with resources to help support their child's advanced development.

That would be very impressive, i would praise the child for their good reading skills and then we could break down the words into sounds and begin assisting the child with other words they may struggle with. We could offer the child new books and encourage them to read more.

I would give the child the books and the opportunities that match his/her skills as it appears this is a bit above the milestones for this age. I would alert the parents so as to include them in the child's reading at home as well.

I would ask the parents about the reading patterns of the child at home and acknowledge the intellect of their child and let them continue to have the child choose what they are drawn to reading and encourage the parents to encourage the child.

At this age I would say that being able to read simple words is a great step. The child is already ahead of most kids and It would be great to continue encouraging this and promoting this habit early on.

i think this child in this scenario is developing ahead within the typical development continuum. i will encourage parents to keep this habit of reading and i will make her/him read often for the classroom.

I will talk to their parents that a slow start does not mean anything. Then, I will encourage the child to develop more interest in learning language.

The child would be considered ahead for 3 years of age. I would encourage this development by providing more books and opportunities to read. Being careful not to overwhelm by going to quickly.

I think it is important for the child to continue practicing reading more sight words, and start trying to read simple sentences using those words. I think it would also be beneficial for the parents to continue reading with the child and slowly increase the book reading level over time.

This is a very appropriate response for a child at this age. By this point a child is able to understand things that they have seen or have observed by their parent or people that are around them.

This child is ahead of most children his age. It would be good to provide more experiences for him to use and build on his reading vocabulary. Read to him and let him read the words he knows. Allow him to sound out other words if he expresses the interest in doing so.

I believe the child is right on track and even a little above their milestone. I would inform the parent about the child's growth and encourage the parent to provide more material to the child to increase his learning.

The 3 year old is far beyond his/her expected developmental continuum and should be supplemented in a fun/efficient way to not only support the gifted performance, but to generate interest in the academic.

By encouraging parents to read new stories and emphasize the new vocabulary and repeat more than once to help the child to save them can also use the game of the card containing vocabulary with illustrations

Madysen Dillman

This child has reached this reading milestone faster than most do. I would inform the parents of this and suggest that if they want to work on other simple words with their child, they can, but not to rush it or force it upon the child to learn more words. I myself would read with this child when they want to and congratulate them on their reading ability, but not force them to learn more, because they are only three and shouldn't be put under pressure to academically excel.

Hunter Sheffield

I believe this is developmentally a little advanced for this age, but is a good place for the child to be at academically. I would encourage parents to continue to challenge their child with other short (3 or 4) letter words to continue to prepare them for kindergarten. Reading with children is always appropriate. I also would introduce the child to letters, and practice writing letters, starting with the child's name.

Betsy Alvarez de Spinosa

I believe that this child is a bit ahead of his developmental continuum. However, it can be considered normal. Other children of the same age may be interested in the meaning of the words but without knowing the meaning of them. Other children would recognize their name and could associate it with other words that have the same letters. I would talk with the parents to encourage them to read more books and increase the child's vocabulary.

Jessica Key

The child is displaying "normal" skills for their age, just slightly advanced. As stated before, learning is a continuum, so this child may be more "behind" in another area but excelling with reading.

Shelley

Encourage this skill and offer positive feedback! Developmentally, the 3-year-old is somewhat advanced. Encourage the child and parents to continue reading both new and favorites. Sight word flashcards could be used as well to expand the child's sight word vocabulary.

Emma

This child is above the normal reading level of a three year old and I would try to find opportunities for them to build their reading skills in the center and encourage their parents to challenge them at home.

Shenae

This child is meeting and exceeding the developmental stage and should be encouraged through school and home to continue and keep going from there

Olivia Morse

Reading words by sight for a 3-year-old is an advanced milestone. I would make sure to read to the child often, possibly show them flashcards and encourage their learning. I would also communicate with the family and encourage them to read to their child and teach them new words as often as possible.

Deborah

A three year old reading simple sight words is above the typical benchmark for her age. I encourage her to read often and read to me or other students. I encourage her to help me at group times by reading with me. It not only helps her skill but encourages other students to realize their potential. I would encourage her parents to continue to model a love for books and reading at home.

I would be very excited to learn that my student was able to read sight words at such a young age! I would extend this level of thinking into a conversation about mom, dad, cat and dog and also use pictures to instill the recognition of the word to stick.

Carolina Hernandez

7/10/2018 07:59:08 pm

At this age the child should be trying to communicate these basic sight words in books due to the fact that they are exposed them so frequently at home and school. Its important to continue supporting this developmental learning by providing the tools needed.

Erin

7/10/2018 09:24:42 pm

Wow, that would be amazing to see a 3 year old reading sight words! I would continue to observe the child and come up with a plan for them to continue their learning and keep it going.

i would continue with observation and have more plans to do

cecilia

I would be very proud of this child and I would create some sight word activities to work on with the child to make sure they continue progressing

Staci Carnahan

This child is very advanced for this age. To observe, I would praise this child and encourage them to keep going. I would make a plan to also provide more material with new words ,

Gina

7/13/2018 09:57:28 am

I would make sure to keep it up so the child is continually learning, add more words keep reviewing words, learning letters and letter sounds, reading books and pointing out the words they already know along with similar words

Debbie McFadden

7/14/2018 05:48:27 pm

Wow! This would be incredible. I'd have the child practice other words with me and see what else the child knows. I would discuss this with the parents. Perhaps they read together at home? If not, maybe it is something they can include. We could also allow the child to "help" teach the other students. Make it a fun game/teaching moment. Practice and teaching combined.

Ana K Torres Albino

This would be the kind of information to share with the parent. Also it would be the time to continue to work with the child and encouraging the child to read more. To help the child in the growth of reading new activities and more age appropriate books would be included in my schedule.

liliya

that's a great milestone avhieve, I would encourage parents to continue practicing at home. at my daycare I would expand his learning to a 4 letter words

Alec

7/17/2018 09:41:07 pm

This is a great steppingstone. I would encourage the child to keep up their good work, and perhaps provide more books to the child and have them read to me or their parents themselves with guidance and practice.
