Guess What She Can Do?

You see this pretty little thing?




Guess what she can do?


READ! ...well, not really...but kind of ;-) In the last 48 hours (basically since she turned 5) she has had an inner drive to learn to read. With school out this week we have worked on lots of sounds/word combinations. I broke out "Hop on Pop" which was the first book that I read and read it to her once. We went over some "basics" of reading and she is doing fantastic. Heck, for all I know she memorized it (hard to believe since I only read it to her once and it is kind of long) but she is SUPER DUPER proud of herself...and so am I! Even sweet Drew gets in on the action by saying, "Great job Izzy! You are reading it Izzy. You"re reading it!"

She will then teach Drew a couple words and let him read a page and then praise him with just as much excitement as he does her.

Can you feel the love?

We have been out of school ALL week due to snow/ice. I am happy to report that tomorrow is a 2 hour delay. Izzy will go to school (Drew is off) and take her birthday treat. She is also going to tell her teachers she can now read - hope they don't actually ask her to do so.

I am blogging from our "tv" which isn't as easy for me to do as it would be on my laptop. Therefore you get a quick post and only a single picture.

Later :-)
