Giving all the credit to God (and one determined little girl), it is with great excitement that we announce that Miss J. read herself a 174 page book in 24 hours! She picked up a first grade reader, which does have a picture on every other page, and read the entire thing out loud to herself. We could hear it.
She started in the afternoon and read all evening, even while in bed. The next morning she came out to the living room early and asked, " Do you mind if I watch the sun come up?" She laid down on the couch and read some more. By the end of that evening, her book was finished!We made such a big deal out of it and she enjoyed it so much that she read another first grade reader the next day! Her comprehension is right on.
This is a dream come true for this Mom.I can't wait to get into The Little House On the Prairie series with her!
