Charlotte is Reading!

At the end of my last post I mentioned that Charlotte has begun to read. That really deserves a special post all its own!

The other night night before bed Charlotte read us a poem called "Apples" from her Kindergarten Poem Journal. Audrey was a great helper and teacher. Click on the photo to go to the video. Somehow a third of the way through the video and audio get out of sync but you still get the idea.

Charlotte obviously received a good grounding in letter sounds in her Pre-K class last year. We've also worked on them at home, and I think Charlotte has learned a lot from watching Audrey.

I've mentioned before that for me watching my kids learn to read is the highest point of parenthood so far. Reading is such a huge part of my life that I am thrilled about the universe of knowledge and adventure that awaits them in the realm of the written word.
