Our Reader

Toward the end of February, Liam's sight word abilities and word sounding out abilities took off! He started reading everything. We decided to have him practice and learn to read "A Mud Pie for Mother" before we went to Washington so that he could read it for Grandma. He learned to read it in just a couple of tries and Grandma was so thrilled to hear him read it to her. After that, he decided to read anything and everything. One night, he brought in his box of "BOB" books and read us three of them start to finish without any help, sounding out the words in his head. We were shocked that he basically taught himself to read. Since then, he's been reading non stop! I want to get him reading "A Mud Pie for Mother" on video and post it, but for now these will do. The other morning, while I was getting ready for work and Liam school, I found him sitting on the top of the stairs reading the books to himself. How cute is that?!




There is my shameless mommy-brag post for the day!
