Oh the days of me reading to her….they seem to be passing away.
This summer, she is to read five books and report on two. She has already finished her assignment, but she still must finish her five. Now, for Tatum her reading level is in the 3rd and early 4th grade. Therefore, her books are chapter books and take a little longer to read.
She’s already read Bunnies in the Bathroom and Puppies in the Pantry.
She just finished Beagle in the Backpack, and I was S.H.O.C.K.E.D to see it’s a 5th grade level! OYE!
She took the AR test this morning. Wow. 90%.
Anyway, the cool thing is that she is choosing to read on her own without me. Just today, she was a bit under the weather. She wanted me to bring her some books, and for an hour, she just read and read and read and read.
You can hear her laughing and enjoying the books.
Every day while she eats lunch, I read to her Nancy Drew. When I was a kid, I had a huge set of these yellow books. We are on the second book right now. Then, at night we read for about 30-45 minutes. However, now she wants to read to me instead. Oh, the sadness. I love her reading to me, but I do miss doing the reading too!
Even at bedtime, you can find her reading.
I look forward to reading more books with her! We’ll do our own mini book club. (We’ll be true Book Buds!)
So proud of you, Tot.
