Reading Chapter Books

I am so excited that Christian is now reading chapter books! For Christmas we bought him a Garfield chapter book, and "UP" based on the new movie. Today he started reading both of them! He learned to read when he was four, mostly from following along while I read bedtime stories to him, and asking about words he saw throughout the day.  He loves to read picture books, and will often read aloud to Sophie. Today we had discussion about how the book is usually better than the movie after he pointed out a couple things that made more sense to him after reading it. Yay!

  2. Wonderful! My oldest daughter is a reader and my youngest daughter is a reader, my middle daughter is a lot like her father and they don't care for it. Me- I could read a book cover to cover in one day. I have to make myself put it down!
