Reading Explosion

Yikes, watch out. DS5 is really taking off with his reading! He's determined to finish the 3rd and final I Can Read It reader from Sonlight language arts, and soon! Something about reading "real books" is his incentive. Yesterday he read an entire story by himself, even with a sore throat. Usually we alternate reading sentences, but last week he "stole" some of my sentences, so this week he decided to read it all. He also thinks that having good reading skills will get him promoted to the next class at church, and was reading every single thing he could lay hands on in his class, in hopes that someone would notice and promote him, LOL. The teacher that day was his great aunt, and grandma plays the piano, so they shared silent giggles over his very sincere efforts ;-) We're going to the library later today--I wonder how many books he'll check out for himself. Last week he was proud to get his own books to read, and even prouder that he read 5 of them on the way home!
