My Little Reader

Miss M just LOVES books.

She is getting better at reading everyday! She is a super speller too. (I really think it's because K works with her so much.) And I believe it is so important to read to your children daily. I am a HUGE reader and have been looking forward to the day when Miss M and I can read chapter books. My good friend sent me some classics all little girls should have when Miss M was a baby (plus a beautiful blanket she can snuggle up with while reading them). We haven't cracked open those books yet, hopefully soon - but we have read Charlotte's Webb and are reading Trumpet of the Swan*, not to mention she loves it when I read the chapter books to the Girls** after school. We have enjoyed the Spiderwick Series, Junie B Jones,and many others... but last Monday, library day, K and Miss M found Prince Caspian. Miss M is very excited about the upcoming Narnia movie and so they borrowed the book. We have been reading it faithfully every night (except tonight I left it at the girls house - Miss M was super*** sad!)

The best part is, Miss M is a little reader like her Mommy and we enjoy book time together!

I guess I should point out that I DO MOST OF THE READING in the big chapter books, she
is just finally interested in more than just picture books - but I am amazed at the words
that she is able to point out to me while we are reading...

*That is until we started reading Prince Caspian
**I watch two girls in the afternoon
***I think SUPER is my new favorite word to use, it keeps popping up in everything I say or write!

Do You Have a Favorite Child Hood Classic?
Or Just ANY favorite book?



(thanks Kelly for the ** idea! -
and RH for the questions at the end idea - I've seen it in other blogs, and I'm glad
you are doing it!)
