We are two readers!

Tyler officially finished 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'. It was a huge undertaking and we are totally impressed that he finished! Monty and I both KNOW we never read a book like that at his age! Great job Tyler. The latest test from his school puts him almost at a 5th grade level(which probably puts him a few grade ahead of me).
Kyle is also amazing us with how he is picking up reading. Kyle has been begging me to let him try to read a level 2 Hooked on Phonics book, but I haven't wanted to sit down and work with him and don't feel the need to push him since he's only a brand new Kindergartner. I know, bad mom. Anyway, the other night I gave in and got out the first book, 'Slam and Dunk and the Big Game'. The next day he said he had read it. Sceptical, I had him bring it to me and sure enough he read the whole thing. GO KYLE!! We are so proud of you!! Keep up the great work boys!

I don't think that I read a real book by myself until I was in high school--seriously. I have some amazing nieces and nephews!

I have to agree with Veronica.... Actually no... I never read a book that long before...lmbo... So sad, my nephew can probably read better than me :^P

I love readers! It's so easy, and it blesses our lives in EVERY way. I've seen a lot of kids who could benefit from having parents like you who teach their kids to love reading. Way to go!
