A First in Reading
We read to the kids most every night, in a tag team fashion- me and D, Bells and C, and then we reverse the next night. And we've had the kids read to us their various "learning to read" books most nights as well.
Tonight something unusual happened.
C read to me.
He read "Where the wild things are" to me. Traditionally, this is a book we read to him in years past.
It was the first time that he has read something to me that we've read to him (and that my parents read to me).
It was easy for him- he's reading chapter books now- but it was completely unprompted and very special.
