Says Madeline as she walks around with a smile on her face. The funny thing is that she usually says it when we are doing nothing special at all.

"I'm happy."
You know what Madeline Claire? We're happy, too.

My Kid Can Read
Caution: Mom brag moment ahead. At our last visit with Parents As Teachers, Ellie received the 'reading readiness screening.' It is given at age 4 and 5. She did not get a single question wrong. This prompted Sarah to suggest we get Ellie the Bob Books.Not having a clue what the Bob Books were, I asked some friends and they all chimed in with success stories. A friend grabbed the first two collections the next day on a Costco run for me and Ellie was eager to get started.
After a few minutes, Ellie was reading. Now we're not talking reading The New York Times or War and Peace but the kid was reading. Ryan thought maybe she was memorizing pages, she 'read' us her first book at just over 2. But when we handed her book 3 in the collection and told her to do her best? She was reading!
After a week of having the Bob Books, we are hooked. Ellie loves to learn new words and continues to amaze us everyday.
How are your kids learning to read? We would love to hear your tips to keep them encouraged and motivated!
