The New Reader

With CJ's school focused so much on the arts and projects, sometimes it is hard to tell exactly how much her basic skills are improving. But tonight she wanted to read some books with Mama after school. When we got done walking the puppies, we sat down with "The Birthday Coundown", "The Foot Book", and "Are You My Mother?".

CJ read them all to Mama! And she did great, needing only a little help and that was for bigger words like decorate and surprises. It was pretty amazing. She didn't use her finger to mark her location on the page, just read like an old pro, not getting frustrated at all.
