Leo the Late Bloomer

We  read the story today about a lion who is a late bloomer. In the story the father is worried because his son is not reading, writing or drawing yet.  The mother reassures him that their son is just fine, he is just a late bloomer. By the end of the story the lion is indeed reading, writing and drawing.  We  discussed with the kids how we are all at different stages of learning in our class. Some kids know all their letters and sounds, some only know the letters of their name and others can write sentences.   We want the children to understand that whatever stage they're at in their learning is just fine and that everyone learns at their own pace.
