Children reading

I am, of course, inordinately (and I think, justifiably) proud of our children: and especially of their reading.  Boo is reading 2-3 grades above level, and Skibo is catching up incredibly quickly: he's way ahead of where she was at his age.
But tonight, I was stunned by Skibo's reading: not that he could read the words, not that he was fluent, but that at the age of only-just-six, he was imbuing the text with emotion and meaning: using inflection and emphasis like a pro!

Way to go, Skibo!

Yours, prouder than a proud parent,
N.
