Reading Progress

I am so proud of my kiddos!!!

Nick now knows all of his letters and can spell his name (but not write it).

Lexie finished her fist chapter book this week and is reading quite well independently now.

Kate has caught the reading bug. She's reading mostly "fluff" for now, but she's reading and asking for more. It's hard to get her to sleep at night because she wants to finish her book before she shuts off hte light. I'm just so happy that she is finally interested in books!!!

Ellie has always been quite the reader. She read her first Agatha Christie yesterday and is now ready to zip through all of them. I can't blame her - I did the same thing a couple of years ago. :) There's nothing like a good mystery!

Another Reading Milestone

Kate has reached yet another reading milestone. She has been reading chapter books for a while now, but she usually reads a chapter or two at a time and then sets them down for later.

I bought her a book when we were at the store a few days ago. She started reading it in the car. When we got home, she continued reading it on the couch. Then, she moved to her bed, where she finished it. All in one sitting!! I am so proud of her. She was actually very proud of herself also - and rightly so.


Here are some of the non-school books which she has recently read:
