Reading with kids

Our reading program continues to be a huge success. Little Jonah made my day this past weekend while we had them over for a sleepover. He read a book on his own. Loved seeing the look on his face as he said with wonder, "I can read!". He rushed around telling everyone. He was so proud of himself. Priceless.

Jonah read (with some help):
1. I Like Bugs
2. I Like Stars

Luke has been reading The Magic Tree House books on his own:
1. Dinosaurs Before Dark
2. The Knight At Dawn

Auntie Saffina read:
1. The Gruffalo
2. The Gruffalo's Child

And together we read:
1. The Tooth Book
2. The Magic School Bus and the Missing Tooth
3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Fun books all. Love the way the Magic School Bus series introduces science to kids. The boys can now tell you how many teeth an adult has (32). And they know that giraffes have the same number as humans. And can name a couple of animals that do not have teeth. Such fun.
