My little boy, Andrew, read a book to me tonight! Really read--not just recited the story from memory. I figured he would be able to read it based on the book's simple phonics and "sight words" that he already knows. Still, I was so amazed as I listened to him sound out some of the words and freely read others. I can't believe how grown up he is getting.
I love reading so much and still remember the day I figured out that I could put letter sounds together to read words. It may sound strange, but I've always looked forward to the day my kids would find the joy of reading on their own.
I'm one proud momma!

That is so exciting Sara! Yeah Andrew! I pray his love for reading will only grow from here.
yes, i know what you mean. my kids have "pm readers" that they bring home every week and i think it's amazing that all of a sudden they read like big kids. i too, look forward to them being able to read on their own. Kaylin is close and reads to the younger ones sometimes.
Way to go Andrew!!!
Isn't that the best...knowing they are actually learning something!
