Teaching My Child to Read
I just wanted to share my joy here. My daughter is currently 4 years old. I have been teaching her to read since she was a baby, but I have done some things wrong and many things right. I won't get into that in this post. Anyway, she loves to read and daily is reading to herself. I hear her sitting at the couch or the table reading and it just pleases me so much that she likes to read as much as she does.
Yesterday she was reading Millions of Cats. I was working at my desk but heard her and got my video camera out to capture the moment. Today she was reading to her dad while I was working at my desk. She was reading That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown. My husband commented on how cute she is and how well she pronounces all the big words while she is reading.
I decided to get on www.arbookfind.com to see if I could determine the reading level of these books and am shocked to see that they are both 4th grade reading level books. I am thrilled, excited and pleased with her and I just felt compelled to share here with all my friends. We just finished reading Stuart Little and she would often grab the book and read as much as she could. It is so wonderful to see that she is fearless in her reading. She doesn't hesitate to read long books or pages full of text. So for all of you who know what it feels like, share in our joy and all you who are on your way, keep on, it is so wonderful to arrive and have raised kids who love to read.
