Reading!

“Literacy is not, as it is considered in our schools, a PORTION of education. It IS education. It is at once the ability AND the inclination of the mind to find knowledge, to pursue understanding, and out of knowledge and understanding, not out of received attitudes and values or emotional responses, however worthy, to make judgments.” ~ Richard Mitchell

I bought Greta BOB books. I LOVE them. They are simple, entertaining, and short. For a long time now, Greta has enjoyed playing on Starfall.com. She learned her letters at a very young age from that website and the Leapfrog letter factory movie. She has always been teetering on the brink of actually reading. I knew I needed something that would push her over that last hump. The BOB books did it! She is now on book 3. I don't let her get out a new one until she can read it fairly well. She actually sounds out the words if she doesn't know what it is. What a little smarty! I'm so proud of her!
