We Have A Reader!

I haven't been working with LG on reading. Mainly this is because I don't believe in pushing your kid to do academics before they are ready. I was a teacher and I have seen how pushing can cause kids to shut down. A week or so ago, I bought a word family book and LG was doing great sounding out the words. I thought I would get her some basic reading books to try out. She is really into it!

I think the key is that I don't push her. I do it when she wants to do it. She is very proud of herself and we are just as proud. I am hoping that she will have a lifelong love of reading like I do! Here is a video for you....

Woo hoo way to go! I am sure she is thrilled! Kayla thinks it is the best thing in the world learning to read...she often thinks she can read things she can't too, it is so cute.

you've just reminded me about my deadline of having my oldest read a crap load of books before school starts in almost three weeks. eek!

Yay LG! Another great thing is Andrew watched that video and got back into reading (he had lost interest the last couple of weeks).
I have ordered a bunch of those Bob book sets. They seem pretty cool.
