More on reading

Boo's teacher lent her a book yesterday to take home and read to LOML and me: and she did! several times:-) Previously, she had read several pages (and in reality actually much more text than in this book) of a longer book: the key thing here is that this time she read a whole book! It's fantastic to see the look of achievement on her face as she finishes! And fascinating to watch and hear as she starts gaining confidence in her words, recognizing the common ones more and more by sight, and becoming less hesitant in reading, actually grouping the words together in sentences!
And recognizing that a sentence is a question, and giving the words a rising tone!

I love being read to by her:-) I just can't wait till the books get to be less dreadful!

Yours, paged,
N.
